We can all take on the opioid epidemic.
The Jerry Project is a web3 initiative with a mission of ending opioid addiction.
This NFT collection honors late artist Jerry Feightner and will fund a national billboard campaign to impact communities struggling with addiction.
The Jerry Project will release 2,574 NFTs.
The late artist Jerry Feightner was in the midst of a glass sculpture project with a friend in 2020 when he tragically passed away.
His work from that project has been immortalized on the blockchain and broken into 39 shards — one of each of Jerry's years on Earth.
10% of proceeds from every sale will go directly to the drugfree.org.
Every community knows this story.
We are raising money to launch a nationwide billboard campaign. Our mission is to share the names of those we've lost to the opioid epidemic in their respective regions and communities to prove their lives mattered and continue to impact others battling this increasingly common struggle.
You can nominate the name of an extraordinary person just by buying a Jerry Feightner Project NFT or donating $99 to the DrugFree.org & Jerry Feightner Project GoFundMe.
These names will be featured on billboards throughout the US with the goal of raising money to help advance effective care, shape public policy, and change the culture around addiction.
Roadmap
Throughout the duration of this project, we'll be sharing stats, stories, and spotlights on drug addiction. Jerry was far from alone in his struggles, and we hope to shed more light on the staggering numbers and stories around addiction.

Jerry Feightner was a visual artist and so much more.
Jerry was a reclusive, visual artist with Cerebral Palsy (CP) and behind closed doors, quietly battled addiction.
Despite his disability, art was a way for Jerry to escape the clutches of his disability to create something beautiful.
Jerry viewed all forms of creativity as coming from the same energy source, and he harnessed an artistic ability with many specific mediums.
In 2020, Jerry tragically passed away with so much of his art still waiting to be seen.
