"Friends" introduced us to The Holiday Armadillo where Ross wanted to teach his son Ben that there's more to Christmas than receiving and with this special holiday $10 giving option, you'll support our efforts in making an impact on mental health through the arts.
We're starting The Hugsy Movement! Click this donation and then share our Hugsy button (visit http://www.facebook.com/uclahss) and tag a friend on Facebook letting them know you're giving them a hug...sy and challenge them to do the same by making a Hugsy donation at http://spark.ucla.edu/friends and having them tag a friend :)
Since the play takes place in Santa MONICA, we thought this would be a perfect perk for all you Monica Geller (Courteney Cox) fans. For your in-kind donation, we'll send you a postcard of artist The Plaia's digital drawing of the Santa Monica Pier as seen on the poster for the play and have it signed by the cast, writer and director. (A $40 tax deductible donation.)
Phoebe Buffay (Lisa Kudrow) loves taking the stage at Central Perk to sing her fun songs and for your in-kind donation of $75, you can play your own version of "Smelly Cat" with this special guitar pick with our "One of 'The Ones'" logo on it--"The Ones" is the cool, new name the writer of the play created for the "Friends" fanbase. We think it's the best fan name yet :) (An $63 tax deductible donation.)
Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston) got her first job at Central Perk as a cafe waitress and for your in-kind donation, we'll send you your very own "The One With Friends" coffee mug and officially declare you part of "The Ones"--the name the writer created for what to call the "Friends" fanbase. Your donation will also help pay for flights for our actors for the tour of the play. (An $85 tax deductible donation.)
For those outside of NYC, you will receive the postcard, mug, guitar pick with the added bonus of "The One With Friends" deck of cards because it's a poker-loving Ross Geller perk--remember that episode from Season1? (A $222 tax deductible donation.)
We never really knew what Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry) did for a living before he became an intern at an advertising firm, but we know he loved cheesecake--so much that he kept eating his neighbor's (along with Rachel). For your in-kind donation of $500, you get our many thanks as well as a cheesecake delivered to your home from Junior's NYC, a perfect treat for the holiday season :) Your donation will also help pay for the flight and accommodations for the tour of the play. (A $450 tax deductible donation.)
We can't thank you enough for supporting the arts and mental health, so for the biggest perk, "The Central PERK", we're sending you and a friend (if you're in the LA area) on the Warner Bros. Studio Tour so you can tour the lot and then visit the Central Perk set and take a photo on the famous "Friends" couch. For those outside of the LA area, we'll send you the "Friends" Pop vinyl figurine of your choice as well as the mug, deck of cards, guitar pick, and Santa Monica Pier postcard art. Your generous donation will help fund the time of our statistician to analyze the data as well as a research assistant's time for data-entry, lit reviews, and research admin work. (A $878 tax deductible gift)
