For years, bar patrons bought beers for Betty White hoping she'd come claim them. The funds are now

going to animal charity.

For several years, people in Mineral Point, Wis., have been buying beers for Betty White at a local pub and tallying them on a chalkboard, in the hope that one day she might stop by and drink them — though not all in one sitting.

Sadly, White never made it to the Commerce Street Brewery Hotel for a pint; the beloved comic actress died at the age of 99 on Dec. 31. Today, Jan. 17, would have been her 100th birthday.

Even though she will not be able to enjoy her designated drinks at the pub, fans from near and far are continuing to buy beers in her honor — with all proceeds going toward animal charities, a cause that was close to her heart.

White is somewhat of a local legend in Mineral Point — a town with a population of about 2,500 people — as her third and last husband, Allen Ludden, grew up there.

1. The local news in Minneapolis did a story on this right after she died

and at the time the locals were thinking the money would go to an animal charity.

I can't get past the Post's paywall so I don't know if its story mentioned that Allen Ludden is buried there, so maybe Betty will make it back to the town.
