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.

Facebook ads are the worst scams, never buy anything from Facebook ads

Well on FB I asked if they get the giveaway cars by donation and was told they buy them. I then asked if they offer incentive $ to PD for DUI arrests and they blocked me. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤣

Just purchased tickets for the next drawing…paid for twenty tickets, only received confirmation for nineteen. Scammed me one ticket, this the second time I purchased tickets from this charity and was cut short one ticket. So who are the correct winners ? If my ticket was given to a friend or family member then then this a big scam..Will not be doing this again.. Stay away people Stay far away, sent emails asking to correct this problem. No response yet.

Article said i the years 2011-2012-2013 they collected 2.6m. How much did they spend on advertising, giveaway cars, employees ect. I bet they aren’t as bad as everyone on here makes them out to be.
