The BC SPCA is among animal organizations reaping the rewards of Betty White鈥檚 legacy of caring for animals.

A television mainstay for more than 60 years, Dec. 31, 2021.

In honour of the late television icon鈥檚 prolific love for animals, the online #BettyWhiteChallenge inspired people to donate to an animal welfare organization on what would have been her 100th birthday, Jan. 17.

鈥淏etty loved all animals. She was an advocate, a donor, an ambassador, a guardian and so much more. The world has lost a treasure of a person, with each of us having our own favourite character or memory of her,鈥� the BC SPCA wrote in a letter to subscribers.

鈥淲e are blown away that even in her passing, people are coming together to honour something that would make her so happy.鈥�

While it may be near impossible to track the impact the Golden Girl has on animal welfare around the world, a dedicated to the #BettyWhiteChallenge teetered at its $25,000 goal by mid-morning on Jan. 17.
