“On Betty White’s 100th birthday, January 17, everyone should pick a local rescue or animal shelter and donate just $5 in Betty White’s name,” the graphic reads. “Make her 100th birthday the movement she deserves.”

White’s many fans threw their support behind the challenge.

“Let’s do it for Betty,” wrote one Twitter user.

Said another, “I got my baby from an animal rescue, so I’m looking forward to participating in the #BettyWhiteChallenge.”

After her death, animal organizations fondly remembered White.

“(Betty White) has always been a one-of-a-kind phenomenon, and we are honored to have known and worked with her during so much of her truly remarkable life,” Robin Ganzert, American Humane president and CEO, said in a statement last week. “Betty dedicated herself to protecting and improving the quality of life for animals worldwide. … On behalf of the millions of animals whose lives you have touched, thank you, Betty!”
