The One With the Hygiene Drive... 📺🧴

​"You have to find the line between stealing and taking what the hotel owes you."

​Nick absolutely *loved* that classic Friends line, and in honor of his incredible sense of humor and his memory, Nick's Foundation is hosting a hygiene drive for Ready Fest (August 12)! We want to take that legendary idea of "gathering the essentials" and give right back to the students at his alma mater at Three Rivers School District!

​To make this drive a success, we have one golden rule: we can ONLY accept brand-new, UNOPENED items! 🛑🧼 ​(And yes, we prefer you buy travel size or full—no actual hotel stay required, but we won't object to a hotel stay, as long as you take from your own room and the bottles are unused! Certainty, NO stealing!)

​📦 What We Need (Brand-New & UNOPENED Only):

​Hair Care: Shampoo & Conditioner 🧴
​Body Care: Body wash, Deodorant, & Toilet paper 🧼
​Oral Care: Toothpaste & Toothbrushes 🪥
​Essentials: Feminine protection 🚺

🗓 ​Deadline: August 5

​Ready Fest is on August 12, so we need all donations received or arranged by August 5 so we have plenty of time to sort, pack, and organize everything for the kids!

​🏢 Calling Corporate Sponsors! 🏢

​We would absolutely love to partner with a corporate sponsor to help us make an even bigger impact for these middle and high school students. If your business is interested in teaming up with us, please send us a DM!

​Thank you all so much for keeping Nick's spirit alive and helping us support these great kids in his community! ❤️

Persistence paid off this morning. A late-night podcast from April 2020 that we had been searching for has finally been found.

​The topic was micronations, and because it was recorded at 1:30 a.m., it features a lot of quiet whispering on what was likely a school night. 😉 While the subject matter might be a mystery to the rest of us, hearing Nick's smart, witty voice perfectly in his element with his friends is priceless.

​This still photo was captured during that very recording, catching the moment Nick held up his FC Cincinnati scarf for the podcast. ⚽✨
