Earlier this week would have been Betty White’s 100th birthday and in honour of the late actress, fans came together to support the #BettyWhiteChallenge. The viral hashtag challenged fans to donate $5 to their local animal shelter or animal rescue.

 

For the challenge, Trisha Yearwood went live on TalkShopLive to raise donations and surpassed her goal of $30,000 by reaching over $36,000 for the cause!

 

“Who doesn’t love Betty White? We all do. And I just think that Betty is so happy right now that this is the way that the world is choosing to celebrate her birthday, by giving to animals, which was so near and dear to her heart,” Trisha said to her fans during the livestream event.
