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.

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.
Sad..that the world we live in..Has so many dishonest people…SCAMMERS
According to ‘contest rules’ you can enter to win without a purchase by sending a 3.5 × 4 card with your info. B.A.D.D. discloses that you will be entered to win. I am reluctant to believe they will enter the freebie card, but they have to CYA and offer a no purchase chance.
Re Thomas Bayterian March 14, 2023. How coincidental that two weeks later, they are also showing me a raffle of a camper van for March 31, 2023. They also show the winners of the past auctions, and neither of the previous two weeks included a camper van. It’s almost as if they show you what you’ve been looking at recently! Coincidentally, one of those recent winners is listed as from my town, so I will feel reassured that it must be real. I bet you were shown one of the recent winners from your town! …. Even though my last name matches this organization, I guess I’ll pass on this scam. Thanks y’all for helping make this obvious.
Probably graduated from Trump University! Birds of a feather! 1% to charity sucks.
