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™ with HB3 Technology™ styles.

HoodieBuddie™ with HB3 Technology™ 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™ 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.

Betty White officially licensed apparel will be available at retailers beginning in August, as well as on the official HoodieBuddie™ e-commerce site. For additional information on Jerry Leigh's exclusively licensed Betty White apparel, please visit www.hoodiebuddie.com.
