Kars4Kids — Calls Court Ruling Deeply Flawed

(Lakewood, NJ)  —  A national charity says a court ruling against its fundraising practices is deeply flawed.  Kars4Kids was the subject of a lawsuit over its advertising.  A judge in Orange County pulled the plug on the ads, ruling they violated California false advertising laws.  A California resident sued after he donated his car to the group, then learned the bulk of the money actually goes to Orthodox Jewish programs, focused on Jewish heritage camps and outreach.  Based on the ads, the man believed his money was going to help needy kids.  In her ruling, the judge said, the charities ads concealed its primary religious and geographic focus.  Past investigations by New Jersey found Kars4Kids had not properly told would-be donors they were contributing to a religious organization.
