Cobb Animal Services Betty White Challenge

Next Monday, Jan. 17, would have been the 100th birthday for actress Betty White, who died on New Year’s Eve.

She was an ardent animal lover, and the Cobb Animal Services Department is holding a fundraiser on her birthday in her honor.

It’s called the Betty White Challenge, and those wishing to participate are asked to donate $5 in her name and/or sign up to volunteer at a local animal shelter.

“This gesture will make a world of difference to the shelter pets and the fellow employees and volunteers at the shelter,” said a Cobb Animal Services social media posting this week.
