The iconic Kars4Kids jingle is coming off the air in California after a judge ruled the charity’s ads misled donors about where their money was actually going. The judge said the Kars4Kids ads led people to believe they would be helping local, needy children with their donations, but according to the ruling “children, especially needy or underprivileged children, are not the recipients of the proceeds of the donations.” In reality, donations have been going to help fund a New Jersey-based Orthodox Jewish outreach program, which includes organizing annual trips to Israel for 17-year-olds and 18-year-olds.
