										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some of you may remember a few years ago when I <a href="http://www.jerseysmarts.com/2009/01/12/donated-my-truck-to-kars-4-kids/">wrote about how I donated an old truck</a> of mine to Kars-4-Kids.  The truth is that I really didn&#8217;t do any research on the group until after I made the donation, but when I first decided that I wanted to donate the truck the only service that came to mind was Kars-4-Kids.  Why was that the only service that came to mind?  Well, because of that theme song!  Once you hear it, the theme song gets stuck in your head.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why I was a little surprised when I received an e-mail from the Kars-4-Kids people asking me to vote in an online poll for a new version of their theme song.  Here is the current version of the song, which is iconic in local radio, I think.</p>
<div align="center"><iframe width="640" height="510" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ybJ6fS7ruuo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<p>And here is the potential replacement &#8211; a newer version of the same song.</p>
<div align="center"><iframe width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/KfUQ6T4o33Q" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<p>So, what do you think?  Which version of the song is better?  You can vote by <a href="http://www.kars4kids.org/song/">clicking on this link</a> and be sure to leave your thoughts in the comments box on this page &#8211; we&#8217;d love to read what you think!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Earlier this month I donated my 1999 Chevrolet Blazer to the <a href="http://www.kars4kids.org/"><strong>Kars 4 Kids charity</strong></a>. You know this organization if you listen to NJ101.5 &#8211; they have the commercial where the guy and the kid both sing &#8220;1-8-7-7 Kars 4 Kids&#8230;&#8221; It sticks in your head (and apparently it works since they were the first group that I thought of when I wanted to donate my truck).</p>
<p>It was a very pleasant experience and the Kars 4 Kids people were very nice to speak with on the phone.  If anyone has a car or a truck that they are looking to get rid of, then they should consider donating it to a charity like Kars 4 Kids.  Not only do you get a tax deduction, but I also got a three-day, two-night stay at a hotel of my choice. Pretty sweet, huh? I&#8217;ll be putting that to good use this summer when I go down to Nashville.</p>
<p>Kars 4 Kids seems to be an organization that provides &#8220;for the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of distressed and at-risk Jewish youth.&#8221; There&#8217;s <a href="http://www.kars4kids.org/joy.htm"><strong>a whole page of stuff</strong></a> that this organization does to help young people. I admit that I had no idea that Kars 4 Kids was a front for this organization when I made the donation, but it doesn&#8217;t matter. As long as someone who is less privileged is getting some type of benefit from my old truck, then all is well!</p>
