Honoring a Legacy of Love for Animals

Today, on National Betty White Day, we celebrate not only Betty’s remarkable legacy but also the incredible achievements you helped make possible in 2023. Together, we reached over 250,000 animals in need, protected 100,000 animals in entertainment, enhanced welfare for nearly half a million zoo animals, and upheld the humane treatment of over 1 billion farm animals.

These milestones, inspired by Betty White’s dedication, were made possible thanks to supporters like YOU. As we honor her memory today, we invite you to continue her vision by supporting American Humane. Your donation will help us extend our impact and create a kinder world for animals, a cause that was close to Betty’s heart.

Thank you for your commitment to animal welfare and for helping to carry forward Betty White’s compassionate legacy.

Our dear friend Betty White was a compassionate and devoted animal advocate for nearly a century. Through her 70-year support of American Humane, she volunteered her service as a member of American Humane’s board of directors, supported our “No Animals Were Harmed®” program protecting animals in film and television, served as a judge and presenter for the nationally televised American Humane Hero Dog Awards™, and served as the chair of our nationwide “Be Kind to Animals Week®,” the most successful humane education campaign and the oldest commemorative week in U.S. history.
