Betty White's Love Of Animals Fuels Social Media Fundraising Trend Felt Locally

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) - "Golden Girl" Betty White would have been 100 Monday.

Betty White was well known for her iconic on-screen career, but it was her off-screen passion that's led to a social media phenomenon.

To commemorate that milestone, a social media trend is honoring White's passion for helping animals. It's called the "Betty White Challenge." It asks people to donate $5 to an animal rescue organization in Betty White's name Monday.

There's no doubt White was loved by many, but it was what she loved that will be her lasting legacy.

In Sacramento, Bradshaw Animal Shelter held a fundraising raffle that gave away a prize pack containing, amongst other things, some Betty White-themed items. The money generated went to animals in need.
