The Matthew Perry Foundation was announced on Nov. 3 to help people struggling with addiction
“The Matthew Perry Foundation is the realization of Matthew’s enduring commitment to helping others struggling with the disease of addiction,” reads a statement on the website. “It will honor his legacy and be guided by his own words and experiences and driven by his passion for making a difference in as many lives as possible.”“When I die, I don’t want ‘Friends’ to be the first thing that’s mentioned — I want helping others to be the first thing that’s mentioned,” the quote reads.
The Matthew Perry Foundation is a donor-advised fund sponsored and maintained by National Philanthropic Trust.“I have lived half my life in one form or another of treatment center or sober living house.

“He learned things throughout this, and what he learned more than anything is that he wants to help other addicts. And it gave him purpose,” she Exclusive: ‘Friends’ director reflects on what made Matthew Perry a perfect Chandler Bing
