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 commented about this article on a Facebook post by bikers against drunk drivers just a few days ago and they replied back to me in less then two minutes and then banned me from commenting! Clearly they have something to hide! I wasn’t rude or anything.
Always good and bad with most charities.
I’ve always heard that this organization was a scam. I followed their facebook page and thought it was kind of funny that they never tagged the winners in their posts. I questioned them about this and they told me that the winner didn’t have facebook. I mentioned that none of the winners seemed to have facebook and I was immediately blocked from their page. They just post random photos of people and claim that they are winners. I don’t believe that they actually give away anything and just sucker gullible people out of their money.
Well, the charity may not give what it takes in bit the raffles are real and they do give away the prizes as listed !! So your buying chances to win the vehicles but not so much supporting a charity
