The Matthew Perry Foundation works to end the stigma of addiction through collective commitment and investment in the people, programs and partnerships that make recovery possible. “Matthew Perry was someone people felt they truly knew. Through his work and his honesty, he built a connection with audiences around the world that went far beyond the screen,” says Joe Maddalena, Executive Vice President at Heritage Auctions. “This auction brings together the personal items and passions that shaped his life, offering fans a meaningful way to connect with his story. More importantly, it allows that connection to do real good, supporting the Matthew Perry Foundation and continuing his mission to help others facing addiction. It’s a powerful way for his legacy to live on and bring people together in support of something that mattered deeply to him.” Net proceeds from the auction, featuring personal items from Perry’s estate, will advance Matthew’s most meaningful legacy: building a future free from addiction stigma, where every person seeking recovery has access to the care, resources and the community they need to thrive. Proceeds will support key Foundation initiatives, including the Matthew Perry Foundation Fellowship in Addiction Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital, Grassroots Recovery Grants for frontline organizations, and Healing Appalachia, the nation’s largest recovery-focused sober music festival. “Matthew believed addiction should be met with compassion and science, not stigma and silence,” says Lisa Kasteler Calio, CEO of the Matthew Perry Foundation. “This auction fuels the Foundation’s work to expand access to evidence-based care and confront stigma. It is one more way we ensure that no one has to fight this disease alone.” The Matthew Perry Estate Auction features a range of items Matthew collected and treasured through meaningful chapters of his personal and professional journeys, together offering a thoughtful glimpse into his beloved sense of humor, and the passions and influences that shaped him.
