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.

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!
I was hit head on by a drunk driver while I was riding my motorcycle in 2019 I reached out to badd and all I got was bull shit excuses and the run around until they blocked my number so I have taken on a challenge to prove to these yuppies how it’s done right I started RADD riders against drunk drivers we have grown since 2019 members in many states so to these greedy fucks watch how true brothers and sisters help victims we do not use one cent for any personal https://ridersagainstdrunkdrivers.com/ so from us at RADD it’s time you pay back what you have stolen from those honest people who donated to you your greed and lies proves that you only take and steal oxygen from honest people across the states
