The Betty White Challenge is back.

The late entertainment icon and avid animal lover died at 99 in Dec. 2021. In her name, the #BettyWhiteChallenge encourages donations to animal charities during the week leading up to Jan. 17 — Betty White’s birthday.

The challenge raised $12.7 million globally in 2022.

During last year’s challenge, the Hamilton-Burlington SPCA raised $35,000 for animals in its care.

They’re hoping to match last year’s success.

“As a not-for-profit organization, the HBSPCA relies on support from animal lovers like yourself (and Betty) to help us continue our mission to help abused, neglected, and abandoned animals,” issued the organization. “Join us and honour the comedic legend and animal advocate by making a gift to the HBSPCA in Betty’s name on or before January 17th.”
