Jennifer Aniston is helping keep her late friend's legacy alive.
On Tuesday, Nov. 28, the Friends alum called on her followers to donate to the late Matthew Perry's foundation-aptly named The Matthew Perry Foundation-in honor of Giving Tuesday.
"For #GivingTuesday please join me and Matty's family in supporting his foundation – which is working to help those suffering with addiction," Aniston wrote on her Instagram Stories. "He would have been grateful for the love."
Perry, who starred as Chandler Bing on all 10 seasons of Friends alongside Aniston, passed away at the age of 54 on Oct. 28 in Los Angeles, Calif.
Aniston's note comes shortly after Perry's stepfather Keith Morrison also highlighted the foundation, writing on X, "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."

Per the foundation's website, the organization's goal is meant to be "the realization of Matthew's enduring commitment to helping others struggling with the disease of addiction."
The statement continued, "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."
Perry had been very vocal about his battle with alcohol and drug addiction, even documenting his struggles in his 2022 memoir, Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing: A Memoir.
"I have spent upward of $7 million trying to get sober," Perry wrote in his book. "I have been to six thousand AA meetings. (Not an exaggeration, more an educated guess.) I've been to rehab fifteen times. I've been in a mental institution, gone to therapy twice a week for thirty years, been to death's door."
He further noted at the time, "Sobriety had now become the most important thing in my life. Because I learned that if you put anything in front of sobriety, you will lose that 'anything' anyway if you drink."
