Yearwood is raising money for dog charities
Trisha Yearwood is celebrating what would’ve been Betty White’s 100th birthday by raising money for animals in need. Yearwood went live on TalkShopLive on Monday (Jan 17th) where she raised more than $24k within the first 15 minutes of the broadcast.
“Who doesn’t love Betty White? We all do and I just think Betty right now is so happy that this is the way that the world is choosing to celebrate her birthday by giving to animals which was so near and dear to her heart. I don’t know who started the Betty White Challenge, but we accepted it,” Yearwood shares.
Yearwood initially started the broadcast with donations going to Dottie’s Yard, the charity arm of the Trisha Yearwood Pet Collection that shines a light on pet rescue and helps local shelters. However, she said that 10 to 15 different dog charities would benefit from the donations raised during the challenge. They will announce those charities after those details are decided.
As of this writing, their goal of $30k has been raised with donations still pouring in. Yearwood and TalkShopLive will each match up to $10k of their own money for the cause.
