You Won’t Believe What This Biker Charity Is Doing With Your Money
Founder Danny Perkins lives in a million dollar condo in Miami and oversees a lucrative money making biker funded charity
When Orlando television news reporter Matt Grant started digging around into the finances of Daytona based BADD, (Bikers Against Drunk Drivers) he hit a stone wall, at least when he contacted the organization directly. BADD is a well known motorcycle charity in Central Florida and is known for it’s motorcycle giveaways. According to records filed with the State of Florida in the three years prior to 2014, the organization collected just over $2.6 million dollars. Those same records indicate the charity has returned just $20,300 to victims of drunk drivers, less than 1% of the money it collected. The president of Charity Navigator, one of the largest non-profit charity watch dogs in the United States said the numbers don’t add up and gives BADD a “zero” rating. Records indicate that the charity’s founder Danny Perkins owns a luxury condo on Miami’s South Beach worth almost a million dollars and which records indicate was paid for in cash and a 27 foot pleasure boat which is registered in the charity’s name. When asked how donations are spent, Perkins told WESH in an email “the charity speaks for itself,”claiming BADD has sent out 5 million flyers and used Facebook posts to encourage people not to drink and drive.

I won a guitar but they gave it to someone that had the wrong song name so I don’t participate anymore. They also need a lot bigger tumbler to mix the tickets up better.
Mr Perkins is absolutely BRILLIANT!! Rob all of the good hearted folks that he can under the guise of leading the way to make the roads safer for Bikers across the map! Meantime he lives the life of luxury on everyone’s dime! True. His self serving campaign of awareness is out there, but it’s largely free & staged on social media platforms. My personal opinion is that altho’ Mr Perkins IS brilliant, he is also shameless! Anyone ever call for an audit of his books?!
I was born at night , but not last night ! I have bought several tickets but was skeptical . No more ! I wondered !
i have donated to this organization quite a fer times with no problem but this year i just happened to notice where i sent them my usual yearly amount via a credit card & they charged me for it,,,then a few days later they tagged me again & i almost didnt catch it so thats my final time to partake with this outfit!! pfft! i dont even want to dig up last yrs’ records to see if i missed that second charge if there was one,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I would like to contact a decision making member of B.A.D.D.RL I
