Jerry Leigh will offer Betty White apparel for guys and girls at all tiers of distribution. This limited edition collection will include t-shirts as well as HoodieBuddie(TM) with HB3 Technology(TM) styles.

HoodieBuddie(TM) with HB3 Technology(TM) has patent pending technology incorporated into its design, as these styles feature machine washable earbuds and an input jack in the pocket. Now in its inaugural season, HoodieBuddie(TM) allows its wearer to stay connected to devices such as MP3 players, taking apparel beyond its traditional form.

A portion of all proceeds from the Betty White collection will benefit the Morris Animal Foundation, an animal health organization, for which Betty White serves as a trustee.
