Personal message

As a group of friends, we would like to honour Betty White on what would have been her 100th Birthday by donating to this animal cause.

Betty White served as a trustee of the Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association for nearly 40 years. She supported many causes, such as the Morris Animal Foundation.

From funding research on pain management that revolutionised the way elective surgeries are performed today, speaking out against animal abuse, encouraging fans to adopt mixed-breed dogs, destigmatizing ‘unfavourable’ dog breeds, to simply offering dog training tips, Betty always used her voice (and her wealth) to stand up for our furry friends.

Please join us in honouring Betty White's memory as she donated all her fortunes to an animal cause.

Therefore, we challenge everyone seeing this campaign to make small, meaningful donations of R100 ($6.5) to Woodrock Animal Rescue in Gauteng.

The pro-life, rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing shelter provides assistance to homeless, abused, neglected, stray, injured, ill, geriatric and unwanted animals that would otherwise have miserable lives and premature deaths; animals who have no voice of their own.

By reaching our target of R10 000 ($650), I hope Woodrock will be able to sterilise as many pups as possible, echoing Betty’s sentiment:

“I'm a big spay-and-neuter supporter. Don't have babies if you're not going to take care of those babies. We don't need more. We just need to take care of the ones we have. Take responsibility and breathe kindness.” - Betty White
