LOS ANGELES — Even in death, Betty White is helping her beloved animal friends.
The Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association has raised more than $70,000 through the nationwide #BettyWhiteChallenge campaign, which encouraged fans to donate to animal welfare organizations on what would have been the "Golden Girls" star's 100th birthday on Monday.
The money — $70,389, to be exact — came from 1,731 donations. They hailed from 49 states, as well as Washington, D.C., and 11 countries, including Malta, the Netherlands and Australia, a rep for GLAZA, the nonprofit partner of the L.A. Zoo, said Tuesday.
