The Betty White Challenge - January 17th

​globalnews.ca/news/8487410/betty-white-challenge-animal-donation/

As we all know, Betty White passed away at the age of 99 on December 31st and much like the rest of the world, I felt an incredible sadness. In my mind, this was a woman who defied all odds and continued to entertain, never letting age be a factor. I seriously believed that betty White (and Cher) were going to outlive us all. Her death was extremely sad but it brought to light her incredible passion for animals and her decades long work with accredited zoos and welfare organizations. This was a woman who spent her entire career advocating for the well-being of animals. Thus, the #BettyWhiteChallenge came to be.

In honour of what would have been Betty White's 100th birthday on January 17th, the #BettyWhiteChallenge suggests that we select our favourite local animal charity and donate a minimum of $5. I love this challenge and really want to see it take off. What a magical way to honour an animal warrior like Betty and also, a great way to pump some donations into charities that are always in need of support. While $5 might seem minimal, if we can get hundreds of thousands of people across the globe to make this donation, animal charities around the world would most certainly benefit from this amazing idea. 

So, I'm challenging all of you to do the same. On January 17th, I want to see you guys make a $5.00 donation to an animal charity that's close to your heart. Whether it's your local humane society or perhaps a farm sanctuary in the area, take this opportunity to show them a little love with a small donation in Betty White's name. 

Will you be donating?

HAPPY VEG
