0:42Now PlayingThe CBC has pulled ads for Kars4Kids, days after a California court found the campaign amounted to a "strategy of deception," with the state banning it from playing on local airwaves.
The longstanding charity campaign asked viewers to donate their used cars, suggesting proceeds would help children. The court found the charity actually used funds to also pay for "matchmaking for young adults and gap year trips to Israel for 17- and 18-year-olds."
Kars4Kids says it will appeal the ruling and that it has helped thousands of kids throughout the United States and Canada.
