Kars4Kids Charity Investigation, Orthodox Jewish Funding
Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson releases a report alleging that the charity Kars4Kids is misleading donors. While the famous jingle implies general help for children, over 90% of the funds go to Oorah, an Orthodox Jewish organization in New York and New Jersey. Charity Watch gives the organization a "D" rating, noting that only 44% of the $87 million raised actually went toward charitable programs.
