Kars4Kids Jingle Can Stay on the Air, California Judge Says

Jun 5, 2026·1 min read

California’s appellate court granted Kars4Kids a win yesterday, allowing it to continue running its iconic jingle on radio and TV in the state. Kars4Kids is a national nonprofit that uses proceeds from car donations for youth, educational, and mentoring programs, largely through its sister charity Oorah. The Court agreed to Kars4Kids’ request for a stay of the lower court’s injunction barring it from airing its current ads in California while the organization pursues an appeal of that ruling.

“Kars4Kids applauds today’s court ruling,” a Kars4Kids spokesperson said. “Kars4Kids’ programs benefit children and teenagers in California and throughout the country. The uninterrupted airing of its ads will enable the charity to continue funding those programs.”

The May 8th court opinion based its decision on what Kars4Kids calls a misrepresentation of the charity and its work, as detailed on the Kars4Kids website.

“We believe the lower court’s findings on the facts and the law were deeply flawed, and we are pursuing a broad appeal of that decision,” the spokesperson said.
