The 1 st person to get through the alphabet, in order, wins. Have everyone look for each letter of the alphabet using the road signs, licence plates and billboards that pass by. The winner is the one who can recite the most items in alphabetical order. The second player repeats the line with the first item, then adds a word beginning with the letter "B". I’m Going on a PicnicĪnother classic! The 1 st person says “I’m going on a picnic, and I’m bringing…” followed by an item that begins with the letter "A", like anchovies. The 1 st one to correctly guess is the next to take a turn. Need a refresher? One person spots something inside or outside the car and repeats the line along with a clue, such as “I spy with my little eye, something that is blue.” Everyone else takes turns trying to guess the mystery item. That way, if nothing else, you won't get an annoying jingle stuck in your head while you're filling out the donation paperwork.A road trip classic, “I Spy with My Little Eye” is perfect for young children. Charity Navigator suggests selling your car and then donating the profits to your favorite charity instead. "Unfortunately, there's too many middle men in this industry and we see very little money going to anything charitable at the end of the day," Miniutti says. Oorah's president is also the president of - you guessed it - Kars4Kids. Most of the grant money goes straight back to Kars4Kids in the form of its sister charity, Oorah. The "vast majority" of charities spend at least 75-percent, Miniutti notes.Īccording to public records, in 2014 Kars4Kids brought in $34.7 million, $14 million of which went toward paying for advertisements. Kars4Kids spends about 58-percent of its expenses on the services it promises. "Historically speaking, they've gotten pretty poor ratings consistently," Charity Navigator vice president of marketing Sandra Miniutti says. Kars4Kids’ 2015 990 form notes it received over $39 million in contributions and grants its total expenses were $39.1 million. It receives zero stars for its financials. Charity Navigator, a nonprofit charity watchdog, gives Kars4Kids one star out of four. You may not be surprised to learn that Kars4Kids spends way more on advertising buys than your average charity. Now, the bottom of their site includes the fine print: “Your donation will benefit Kars4Kids, a national organization dedicated to addressing the educational, material, emotional and spiritual needs of Jewish children and their families.” The California radio advertisements do not mention the specificity of their donations. In 2009, Pennsylvania and Oregon both fined JOY, the charity behind the Kars4Kids fundraising, for “ misleading solicitation practices." They’ve been taken to task several times over the last decade over this detail. You’d never know it based on their commercials, but Kars4Kids doesn’t go toward helping all kids - it gives almost exclusively to Jewish families.
