Betty White’s memory drives donations to humane society
Amy Fifield’s phone has been blowing up all day with notifications.
While the community has always been generous to the Butler County Humane Society, Fifield, who is its director of community relations, set a $20,000 fundraising goal Monday, for what has been promoted online as the “Betty White Challenge” to honor the late star’s birthday.
“The Betty White Challenge caught on fire on Facebook,” Fifield said. “We saw that all the other local shelters were doing it so we decided to set up a page.”
By 3 p.m. Monday, the humane society was about halfway to its $20,000 fundraising goal. Fifield said that even if the humane society didn’t reach its goal, the money received through the campaign will help the organization, which runs entirely on donations.
