In the wake of Matthew Perry's untimely passing, his family is determined to keep his legacy alive by continuing his mission of assisting those battling addiction. The beloved "Friends" star's stepfather, Keith Morrison, recently spoke out about Perry's passing, urging supporters to contribute to the Matthew Perry Foundation on Giving Tuesday.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, on November 27, Morrison appealed to the public, stating, "This is not the sort of thing I commonly do, this pitch. But this year is different. And tomorrow is Giving Tuesday. Do what you can; he would have been grateful." He accompanied his message with a link to the Matthew Perry Foundation, an organization that aims to carry on the actor's enduring commitment to helping individuals struggling with addiction.

Perry's family further expressed their commitment to honoring his legacy by addressing his mission on Giving Tuesday itself. In a statement to Entertainment Tonight on November 28, they remarked, "It is important to us as a family to honor Matthew's legacy. The potential that the Matthew Perry Foundation has to help those suffering from this disease is something we are proud to bring to the world."

Matthew Perry had been candid about his long-standing battle with addiction before his tragic death. In his 2022 memoir, he revealed that he had spent over $7 million in his quest for sobriety over the course of his life. The actor stated, "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. And I'm going to live the rest of my life proving that."

Perry firmly emphasized the need for collective support in overcoming addiction. He said, "Addiction is far too powerful for anyone to defeat alone. But together, one day at a time, we can beat it down."

The Matthew Perry Foundation will carry on Perry's dedication to supporting those fighting addiction. Through their efforts, they hope to make a significant impact and provide assistance to individuals struggling with substance abuse. As his family and supporters rally behind this cause, Matthew Perry's compassionate spirit will continue to inspire and help those in need.

Although we mourn the loss of a remarkable actor, Matthew Perry's legacy lives on through his family's unwavering commitment to continuing his philanthropic mission.
