IN honor of Betty White’s 100th Birthday
Donate and Help Save a Life
“I’m so grateful for the care and dedication that Frankie’s Friends exhibits by making life a little bit easier for animals whose lives have been difficult. Efforts like theirs can and do make a difference.”
Best known for her roles on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and "The Golden Girls," Betty White was also a lifelong animal lover who worked tirelessly to raise money and support various animal-related causes. Unfortunately she passed on December 31, 2021, just shy of her 100th birthday which would have been on January 17. In her honor, the "Betty White Challenge" was created to encourage fans to make a donation to an animal rescue organization of their choice on her birthday and continue her legacy of helping pets in need.
Frankie's Friends asks you to make a gift on her birthday, knowing Betty White supported and believed in our mission or helping pets in need of emergency and specialty care when their owners cannot afford the cost of treatment.
Thank you for being a friend to the animals, Betty. And thank you to all of Frankie's Friends who continue helping pets in her name.
All donations up to $2,500 will be matched by our friends, Trace and Scout. Double your gift, double your impact, and double your donation in Betty White's honor by supporting Frankie's Friends between now and January 17th during the #BettyWhiteChallenge.
“I am a long time supporter of Frankie’s Friends because I believe in the great assistance they provide to animals in need.”
