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.

My cousin John Baker suffered a brain injury from a motorcycle accident. Whoever ran him off the road was never caught. John spent 20 years in an assisted living facility because he was not able to function properly. He died last year. These are the people that B.A.D.D. should be helping with the funds they raise. I have become skeptical of their giveaways because they claimed they were giving away a 1970 Shelby and a VW van camper together. They then show on their site that the camper was won by itself. Then they show the same Shelby as a 1972 model as the next car to give away. Today March 28, I get a text with the same picture claiming they’re raffling off this 1968 Shelby. All the same car with different years and no one has won any of them, or the one. I think this is fraud and needs to be investigated. My wife works with the Polk County Sherriff’s Dept. and they investigate fraud cases all the time. So, we’ll add this to the case load.

I can’t unsubscribe from their email either. And when I tried to send a message from their “contact us” link, it never gets sent!!! I’m going to start calling them and blowing up their phone!

I’m currently getting texts from BADD to buy tickets. I had spent a lot a while back. But due to the pushing of ADs, I’m getting curious of the winners and how the funds are actually used. (If they are legit) And now reading more, am skeptical of the use of the money to help those in need. There are many unfortunate people who are injured or Die in an accident from drunk drivers. I am saddened if BADD is not helping those in need with at least 75% of what is collected. So sad!

Will not let me unsubscribe from their texts!!!!

Thank you much for this web page. I’ve been searching the internet for any info on this charity, They score a 59% on Charity Navigator (https://www.charitynavigator.org/ein/352356317) But I’m really glad to find a place to see what the real people are telling the world about this Charity. Thanks for saving my charitable dollars from going to a bunch of crooks!
