Betty White was a friend to countless animals throughout her legendary life, and now that legacy is living on.  A new challenge inspired by the late comedic icon is currently sweeping through social media.

The “Betty White Challenge” is a virtual event that will be held on Jan. 17 (which would have been the actress’ 100th birthday).

Mix 99.5 WJBR is asking you to donate a minimum of $5 to the Brandywine Valley SPCA in her name.

“The Golden Girls” star was a pioneering animal rights activist who adored the furry ones.

Thank you for being a friend.
