- There's a new tribute to Betty White in Los Angeles, but this one isn't just about honoring Betty ... it's about promoting the cause closest to her heart.
- Artist Corie Mattie is responsible for the new mural that's been installed on L.A.'s famed Melrose Ave. She says the piece took her roughly 15 hours to complete and includes the mission statement ... "Be More Like Betty."
- Corie even added a QR code on the mural which fans can scan to donate directly to wagmorpets ... an org supporting dog rescues. She tells us, Betty "loved animals so I thought it would be a good idea if people wanted to pose in front of it, this will go directly to [the] nonprofit."
- This mural is right in line with a movement Betty's fans have started online with the #BettyWhiteChallenge.
- The hashtag encourages people to donate to their local rescues and animal shelters to honor Betty for what would've been her 100th birthday on January 17.
