ICYMI: Huntington Residents Invited To Join Betty White Challenge

HUNTINGTON, NY — Town of Huntington residents were encouraged to participate in the "Betty White Challenge" by Supervisor Edmund Smyth, according to a news release.

Betty White, an actress known for "The Golden Girls" and "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," died recently at the age of 99. With what would have been her 100th birthday on Jan. 17 coming up, Smyth asked Huntingtonians to donate in Betty White's name to the Give a Dog a Dream charity.

"In honor of what would have been the legendary Betty White's 100th birthday on January 17, I'm asking her fans — and all dog lovers who can afford to do so — to donate $5 in her name to our Give a Dog a Dream charity, which funds medically necessary surgeries for shelter dogs in need, or donate a wish list item to our shelter," Smyth stated.

The "Betty White Challenge" is an event asking people to donate $5 to animal shelters or rescues in the actress's name.

The Huntington Animal Shelter's biggest needs are flat collars in medium, large and extra-large sizes; flat leashes; treats; and indestructible toys. The shelter also accepts donations of blankets, detergent, food, etc.
