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.

Got me once. Never again
Good looking out Biker Nation. These fuckers need to be shut down. Probably selling the corporate donations to their friends on the cheap and pocketing that cash as well. BADD should stand for Bitch Asses Double Dealing 🤬🤬🤬
Cancel my tickets refund the money you dirty basturds
Very likely what happens is this guy, or these guys, get companies/people to donate items to their 501 C3. The people donating the items take a huge deduction via their taxes (rich folks love these scenarios as it’s instant money in the bank for them vs giving it to The Treasury). Next BADD sell a gazillion tickets and entire thing is pure profit for them!!! They soon blocked me when I politely asked them how much of their proceeds goes towards reducing the incidents of drunk driving? Pitiful, nasty people!!!
They have a 59% rating from Charity Navigator. What group can have that rating and still claim to be legit? Unfortunately shiny objects win. Beware that you may be a supporting someone’s lavish lifestyle, not legitimate work. https://www.charitynavigator.org/ein/352356317
