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.

Wow, I tried to click through to this “contest” from Instagram and Firefox blocked them as a dangerous website! And when I tried to click through to the “home page” they gave to Charity Navigator as their website, it said access is forbidden. That’s enough to stop me from buying! (Not to mention I’m POSITIVE the “numbers” don’t match on the cars they give away…

Badd leave it to the state of Florida, this scam is going on for so many years.
Don’t patronize them or advocate.
I believe in stopping dwi and aware of statistics.
Step up to the plate and show where money is spent and prizes awarded.
You lost family members and I know some who have perished.
Setup badd !!!!!
