A charity auction of late actor Matthew Perry's personal belongings and memorabilia is taking place this month [1].

The event aims to raise funds for the Matthew Perry Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting individuals living with addiction [1, 2, 3]. By converting personal assets into financial support, the foundation seeks to expand its reach in recovery services and honor Perry's legacy of openness regarding substance abuse.

Items listed for the June 2026 auction include signed scripts from the television show "Friends," and a stuffed bunny from Perry's childhood [1, 4]. The collection features a variety of mementos that span both his professional career and his private life [2, 5].

This auction occurs nearly three years after Perry died [2]. The process follows an initial announcement made on May 6, 2026, regarding the sale of these specific items [1, 2].

Organizers said that the proceeds will go directly to the foundation's mission of helping those struggling with addiction [1, 2, 3]. The sale of high-profile items, particularly those linked to one of the most successful sitcoms in television history, is expected to attract significant interest from collectors and fans alike [1, 2].

“The auction aims to raise funds for the Matthew Perry Foundation.”

This auction transforms the celebrity's personal history into a sustainable funding stream for addiction recovery. By leveraging the enduring popularity of "Friends," the Matthew Perry Foundation can move from a commemorative entity to an active provider of resources for those battling dependency, mirroring the actor's own public struggle and advocacy.
