Today, January 17, 2022 would have been the 100th birthday of beloved icon Betty White.
In honour of this milestone, we are joining 107.5 KOOL FM and Rock 95 to take part in the #BettyWhiteChallenge. A challenge for everyone to donate $5 to their local animal shelter.
The idea is that if everyone donates a small $5.00 in Betty White's name, we could make a big difference in her honour.
On New Years Eve we learned that Betty White had passed away due to complications from a stroke she suffered earlier that week.
