Congress’ failure to pass voting protections could have lasting damage.

Beloved Golden Girl and animal activist Betty White died on December 31, 2021, just a couple of weeks short of her 100th birthday.

This was fully unacceptable to many people around the globe, so the internet got together and declared today — what would’ve been her 100th birthday — as the day of the #BettyWhiteChallenge.

To participate in the Betty White Challenge, all you have to do is send a few bucks to some pups and kitties: Fans of White are honoring her memory today by making $5 (or more) donations to animal shelters and charities.


If you want to get in on the giving action but you also don’t have lunch plans, Sugarfire Smoke House is making it easy to give money while also feeding your face.

Visit a Sugarfire or Hi-Pointe Drive In locations today to get the Betty White special (a hot dog and chips, which was reportedly her favorite meal) and they’ll donate proceeds to Stray Rescue of St. Louis, a local animal shelter that seeks out and takes in animals that “no other organization will help or would simply euthanize because they are too expensive to heal” and then gets them adopted into their new homes.
