What's the #BettyWhiteChallenge? ❤️🐾 Well, it's no secret legendary actress Betty White loved animals. And as sweet as she was with animals, she was also serious about doing anything she could for them. Monday, Jan. 17 was supposed to be a magical day for America's favorite senior citizen – she was set to celebrate her 100th birthday, but died peacefully in her sleep at her Brentwood, California home on New Year's Eve. Enter the #BettyWhiteChallenge. Fans are rallying on Jan. 17 to honor Betty White by supporting one of her biggest passions: animal welfare. The beloved actress didn't want people to only focus on certain aspects of animals, her goal was simple: she wanted every animal healthy, happy and loved. Since the first week of 2022, the #BettyWhiteChallenge has become a trending hashtag throughout social media. The challenge is simple: donate to any local or national animal shelter, rescue or agency in White's name leading up to or on Jan. 17 on what would have been her 100th birthday. 🔗 For more ways Betty White had an impact on animal welfare, check out our link in bio. 📸: @spcala, @georgiaaquarium, Chris Pizzello, @apnews, Jason Merritt, @gettyimages
