I am exposed to this group through Facebook ad at rallies where I see people wearing the patch. This is a noble and critical cause. Having once been under the addiction to alcohol (freed for 5 years praise God) I have seen firsthand the damage drinking and driving/riding can do. Keep up the great work !!
Less than 2% of collected donations go to actual victims while the scamming owner pays himself over $400,000 a year.
but you do get to win cool prizes (SMH)
Absolute bullshit organization
Great organization and very proactive against drunk driving! I love the drawings and that the money goes to a wonderful cause!
Research showed very little money is paid to victims. Odd not one mention in reviews. Guessing this review will not get posted.
I’ve had multiple close ones die in car crashes where the other party was driving under the influence. So I wholeheartedly support this group. I want the roads to be safer for everyone.
I fully support this nonprofit. Their cause is truly noble, as driving under the influence is very dangerous to everyone on the road.

I Whole heartedly support this nonprofit. I like what they stand for! The dedication that's put into keeping it relevant along with having the best attitudes while making it fun and encouraging participation. They have shown to have great communication with the public and you can feel that they are just doing it all for the right reasons!
As a First Responder; I have treated many victims of Drunk Drivers.
Motorcycle riders are especially vulnerable to injury or death from direct contact with an impaired driven vehicle.
Large vehicle to vehicle collisions can cause serious injury or death to the occupants. Large vehicle to motorcycle collision is Catastrophic to the rider in all instances.
I grew up in a house which alcohol was a constant part making a miserable life for myself and my siblings when we were young. Between that and cigarettes I’m thankful that o have been able to resist the temptation to severe its addiction and prevent it from becoming a miserable life for my children. I’m thankful that I did not have to witness any death caused by my family because of drinking.
I've seen way too many of my Brothers and Sisters lose their lives and or take the lives of innocent children and their families. What BADD is doing is by far the greatest non profit awareness organizations out there. They have touched the lives of millions of people foreign and domestic. I will always do my best to support the cause. Thank you and God Bless you all...
Bikers Against Drunk Drivers (BADD) is a great organization that raises awareness to the general public of the existance of motorcyclists that are sharing the roads with them. I donate to the charity via donation to purchase tickets for great prizes. BADD uses multiple avenues of social media to get their word out. Please consider supporting them.
I have been following and Donating to BADD since 2023.
They are open with their activities, Live Prize Drawings and Public Awareness against Drunk Driving.

What an excellent group of people! We have followed them for a while and interacted with them as much as possible. Reaching out to them in which they promptly professionally respectfully respond and you can tell that they are real people. Their fundraisers are always fun as well as entertaining. If you are looking for a group that helps like they say they do, this is a great option for ya.
They are the greatest with everything they are doing. I received a shirt the other day and it is perfect, I absolutely love it. There need to be more people in the world like them.
I was a Part-time Police Officer for 7 years and currently a 32 year Volunteer Firefighter when I am home.
I drive a semi-truck full-time and I have seen a lot of accidents granted not all were alcohol related but I'm sure there were quite a few. More than people know.
Most times I can spot an impaired driver whether it is alcohol or drug related from the training I've had through the Police Department.
B.A.D.D. is a wonderful organization,
I would greatly give a 25 ⭐ rating if I could.
Thank you B.A.D.D. Team
I lost my 18 year old son to a drunk corrections officer. He hit Anthony head on going over 100mph the wrong way down the highway. Every day is so hard. I speak at a Victim Impact Panel once a month and we have over 140 convicted drunk drivers ever month. My prayer is that most get it and never drive drunk again that’s why I do it Thank you for doing all you do.
As a biker I am passionate about their cause. I donate thru the raffles, and although I haven’t been lucky enough to win, I will continue to do so. The real prize is the reward for every biker thru the work they do.
THIS ORGANIZATION SUPPORTS A GREAT CAUSE AND THEY RAFFLE OFF SOME GREAT PRIZES. IF YOU RIDE A MOTORCYCLE OR KNOW SOMEONE WHO DOES, DONATE TODAY.
Great organization! I recently learned about this group and all the wonderful work they do to raise money and awareness! Keep up the hard work you are doing great things!
This organization creates (VERY WELL ) great ways to raise money for their cause which affects all of us, and those who have been affected by some horrific incidents caused by drunk/influenced drivers upon innocents. One group that keeps the atmosphere positive but takes helping victims seriously. Keep up the good work, B.A.D.D.!

I really appreciate all that they do. My dad was killed by a drunk driver, so this means a lot to me reaching out and helping others as well. We were put here for.
I used to ride with a group of sport and sport-touring riders. We would occasionally meet up for food, but a couple guys would regularly drink. One night they had a few too many, and decided to stunt down the highway. One of my friends fell doing a highchair, and his bike ran him over, and he had horrific road rash from not wearing gear. He thankfully survived, but he taught me to NEVER drink and ride, not even one drop.
BADD does some wonderful work in the community. I lost a loved one to a drunk driving accident and I know these guys so all they can to prevent this from happening to anyone else.
My grandfather was killed by a drunk driver on his way home from a vacation. I support BADD 100 percent. Thank you for all your support.
We were on a cross country trip and came across the vehicle display for the raffle. Well my husband and cousin went crazy ( not to mention Orange Crush is my husbands favorite beverage) and bought raffle tickets and talked about what they would do when they won, for the rest of the trip. Ever since my husband has purchased raffle tickets and alerted my cousin in case they win… what a great cause to join !!
Thank you to all who help and support. My mom and step dad ride with the Patriot Guard Riders, and they support bikers against drunk drivers.
These people really help everyone because they all care and have a great heart
They show everyone love
This group is close to my heart. I have had friends who lost their lives due to drunk drivers. The awareness this group creates can save some many people from the heartache I have experienced.
I follow BADD on Facebook. I love their cause, it's phenomenal. I also ride so I feel kin to the organization.
Want to get as much awareness out there as here in the Houston area we have waaay to many drunk drivers killing our motorcycle riders
I follow BADD on Facebook. Great charity. I'm a former ER nurse, so I personally know what they stand for.
I lost two of my daughters ages 18 and 23 in the same crash that involved an 18 yr old underage impaired driver in 2012. These crashes are 100% preventable and no one should ever have to experience this pain. Thank you for raising awareness so that our loved ones will never be forgotten. #enddrunkdriving
I want to help in anyway possible!
Even if that means wearing a T-shirt with their logo!
It's a message everyone should stand behind!
They are great!! I’m a volunteer, and I Love the work they do. Spreading awareness and living the Life!!! Don’t Drink and Drive!!!
Awesome group for a great cause. I barely found out about this cause but living in a family that mainly rides motorcycles I fear everyday for each and every one of them. So I started following and buying tickets so I can help support this cause. Thanks for all you do guys.
Great Organization that help in the prevention of accident by promoting Don’t Drink and Drive. Also, they give away are LIVE and you know the winner right away. I support this organization.
One of my great friends was just hit by a drunk driver 2 weeks ago. She almost died leaving 3 children. Thank God she’s survived this far but she has a very long road ahead of her. Please keep her in your prayers.
Excellent Mission & Amazing group of like minded individuals helping people! My father & I are grateful for what ya’ll do!
A recovering addict and couldn’t be more grateful. I will always be against Drunk Driving. Thank u for doing this. We need more people to see and hear about this organization.
I saw the recent FB post by B.A.D.D. and knew I had to give to this organization. My husband and I used to own an Ultra Classic Harley and loved to ride. We live very close to Yosemite National Park and what a great way to see the beauty of National Parks. Even road to the Utah National Parks and Crater Lake NP in Oregon. My sister was killed by a drunk driver New Year's Eve 1971 and it totally change the dynamics of our family. No one should have to lose someone that way. Thank you for your organization and we hope the best for the future of B.A.D.D.
I have been aware of BADD but have not actively participated but that changes today! What an amazing group of like minded people.
This is the best organization I donate to by purchasing raffle tickets ,,, yet there is so much we can do by donating to Badd great group of people
Love this organization and what they stand for! I donate every month by purchasing tickets for great prizes, cars, trucks, Harleys. I haven't won yet, but love the cause. I was always the passenger on bikes, but know the pain of a friend or loved one being injured or killed by drivers that didn't pay attention to bikers on the road.
Keep up the great work you do!!
I am extremely hurt and disappointed I have been following this nonprofit for years and buying tickets almost every single month for the drawings and to also help donate for their cars we had a family that was devastated by a drunk driver and was altered in their life through disabilities we also have a house full of veterans we went to buy tickets and support their cars on Veterans Day I had made a comment wish us all well in this house because we purchased tickets on Veterans Day so I was hoping the aura With it caused us more luck of winning when I did so I was blocked off of all their social media when I asked why I was blocked off of the rest of their social media no one contacted me back I felt very disrespected as well as I felt that my family of veterans were being very disrespected i’ve left phone messages asking why we were treated as such and nothing I’m wondering if this site is actually true and actually helps people or are they just really in it for the money and occasionally do nice things for people because things are donated to them it’s really sad to see this in this type of world we live in today I was hoping there was some positive things out there like I said I left messages I’m hoping that somebody contact me back because I feel like I need to now trying to send to the veterans administration because I feel like they attacked veterans The place that we had been donating to was bikers against drunk drivers
this organization nwere very kind to ride escort for our non profit bicycle club.kept our kids and parents safe while on group rides.excellent folks all around.all the best from victoria bc canada
35 year alcohol in recovery 14 1/2 years . For the past 10 years I started and own my own sober living houses . I get people in detox and treatment. Involved in AA . Been riding since 1978 . Still ride
When I was 17 I was in an accident caused by a car with a drunk driver behind the wheel. It caused a good friend to become addicted to pain meds that led to an overdose. I will stand with BADD to warn of the dangers of driving under the influence. I still miss my friend.
former firefighter, I saw several of my biker friends lose their lives or have heavy trauma following an accident with drunk drivers
Anybody willing to take a step forward to do something about the ignorant fools who endanger innocents is worth supporting!
A friend of mine turned me on to this group. Nice how they help everyone to get the word out about safe riding and what they stand for. Love em
Great 5 star non-profit spreading the word: Don't Drink & Drive, Don't Drink & Ride. B.A.D.D.'s Positive Peer Pressure helps get the job done through voluntary compliance making our streets, roads and highways safer for all. Quick response to any questions or concerns, live legitimate fund raising raffles.
Thankyou B.A.D.D. for raising awareness to a huge problem. Drunk driving has ruined the l8fes of too many innocent people. Thanks for all you do to try and educate folks and curve this horrible problem
This is such a great organization. You are all having raffle to raise money always doing something. In my years of riding i seeing a lot of people riding that should have not been riding. That is when things happen. It would be great to have this patch on my Vest
Great group of people that truly care about their cause, I have donated several times and will continue doing so
Having lost a good child hood friend to a drunk driver. I am happy to see an organization who is dedicated to keeping people safe. Good job all of you.
BADD is awesome! What a great way to get the word out to keep everyone safer when out on the open road. Safety is our priority when we are on a ride, whether we are on our own or on our annual Pediatric Ride for Kids with hundreds of other riders, safety is number one!
BADD's fundraising items are way awesome!!!! So worth getting tickets!!
Julie & Gary
Awesome people doing great things! It's one thing to talk about a cause it totally another to do something about it. These people do both. I'm am proud to be a part of this group.
I've been a rider for 45 years. As the roadways in my area become more congested and drivers are more distracted, they certainly don't need to be under the influence of anything! B.A.D.D. does an excellent job of drawing attention to this and members are well-known for supporting charities.
I lost my father 60 years ago to a drunk driver when I was 7, I would be proud to ware your patch on my vest to spread the word to others of this great organization.
Definitely a great Organization I’ve seen the devastation left by drunk drivers first hand with family and friends.
This is a great organization, raising awareness against drunk drivers not only in the biker community but in general is the most rewarding and positive experience for those who somehow have been affected, the love and support offered help families who are directly affected by drunk driving.
Your foundation is amazing ! I follow all the stories and progress. Not to mention it’s an inspiration out there. Little does anyone know how important the cause is. Please by all means keep up the great work !
Anytime somebody is willing to promote a positive influence I'm for it. Too many lives are destroyed by the consumption of alcohol. Kudos to BADD for what they do.
The biggest danger to our safety while on the road are the other drivers. We are putting our trust in their ability to make responsible choices. Too many lives are lost by the senseless decision of driving while drinking or under the influence. With the use of legalized canabis on the rise, I'm worried the numbers will be increasing. This organisation is on a worldwide mission to get people to make better, safer choices.
There is no greater loss then losing a loved one to a drunk driver. My heart goes out to all involved. My story comes at a different angle. While I did drink in my life and had some horrible experiences through it all.
My experience came from being in a room due to a mandatory sentence I received from a DUI.
I got a reading on the breath analyzer of 0.03 from TYLENOL WITH CODEINE!!!
I was made an example of! And I am glad I did because the entire class laughed at me… well I didn’t return the favor and laugh at their stories AT ALL… I heard stories that took my breath away and broke me heart. These people, some of them, could of cared less at the alcohol they consumed, the damage to lives they did, and even the consequences. Matter of fact some left the class to go do what … drink some more!!!
The worse story I heard was a female mother of two was so drunk she was driving her vehicle in the wrong direction on the freeway and a mini truck side swiped her vehicle. Leaving her 5 year old daughter paralyzed from the neck down. The driver of the other vehicle lost mobility in his left arm and leg. And this female had no desire to quit drinking. That was something that has stayed with me until today… I wonder where that injured child is today… and thank you for having such a great website and support
In the summer of 98 my daughter was ran over in a crosswalk and dragged for 3/4 of a block before the driver fled. The driver was caught thanks to a wonderful eye witness that gave a description to Police. He was 3 times over the legal limit. It was 1 week after her 16th birthday. Sadly Tara Dawn did not make it. It has changed my life ever since. There are alot of what ifs going through my head every Day. Groups such as Badd are greatly appreciated and Hopefully 1 Day the work, effort & Point will get across to our general public worldwide. Thank you for all you do each and every one of you. Keep up the fantastic work.
I just found out about this organization this year. They have done amazing work across the country, helping people that have been involved in drunk driving accidents. I will continue to contribute as long as I am able, and tell friends and family about them.
BADD is a fantastic organization. I have donated every year since I heard about them. The stories on their site move me to tears. I am proud to support them in their efforts.
BADD is a great organization. I fully support their mission, and their fundraising raffles just keep getting better.
Bikers against drunk drivers are a great organization always helping out others that are the best can't wait to see more raffle winners
A drunk driver hit my cousin from behind and threw him almost 1/2 mile from his bike and he landed so hard that it crushed his helmet and split his head wide open and crushed his neck they said he was dead on impact. My parents ride bikes and every time they are out I worry about them not coming back.
What an amazing group and cause... nothing more important than advocating against Drinking and Driving. It is hard enough to be seen on a motorcycle by those who are not inibriated.
Thank you for continuing this much needed cause and spreading such a positive message.
With 36 Years in Service I am so proud to know this organization. I learned about this great group from my friend who showed me their webpage on Facebook. I was reading all about it and I am so proud that this organization exists and for what all they stand for. Reading all about it of course I had to make a donation for this great cause. So many more people need awareness on how bad drunk driving is for the entire communities. Thank you for making such a big difference.
This organization has been bringing awareness and saving lives and doing amazing things for those affected by Drunk Driving/ Riding and continues to do good deeds with raising money to help more and save more! What a classy organization!
Excellent group doing an excellent service,
I myself was hit by a car driven by a drunk driver!
I understand the damages...
Although I have never had any personal contact with this group, I strongly support their motto and targets. Never drive under the influence of any substance, no matter, alcohol or other drugs! No matter if your driving a motorcycle, car, Bicycle, skateboard or whatever. Stay sober!
Love the cause and would be any more proud to wear their patch on my vest as we ride through the city’s
I had a good friend killed by a drunk driver. I still miss him to this day, there are A lot of things I can’t stand and drinking and driving is one
Excellent organization, we need more people to embrace the no drunk riding culture for sure!! Can’t wait for the next raffle!
AMAZING GROUP I LOVE WHAT THIS STANDS FOR. I AM PROUD TO BE APART OF THE BIKERS AGAINST DRUNK DRIVERS. THANK YOU FOR DOING WHAT YOU DO!
Been riding for 7 years now and when going to rallies around the maritimes this has always been a cause I will support. They do amazing work and will continue to for many many years to cone
Its importance speaks volumes for itself and has been responsible for saving lives on a daily basis....continue with the awesome work
I Love this group Bikers have always been involved with non-profit things. Goes to show never judge a book by its cover! If only the world had as bid g if hearts as them❤. Bless you all be safe
I really like the idea of this, personally I am not a drinker but have witnessed alot of deaths do to drunk driving and I am starting a new mc and am wanting to at least take drunk driving out of the mc lifestyle
Je suis de Montreal, l'endroit ou a été fonder BADD. Quand j'ai la chance je prend des billet pour suporter l'association. Ces gents font du très bon travail.
I was run over by a drunk driver (presumed), while walking. I was in the US Navy stationed aboard my first ship. The ship had pulled into Yokuska Japan for a port visit. After a couple of hours at the onbase roller rink some friends and I started walking toward the enlisted club across base. Just a couple of blocks from the roller rink a car hit me from behind and launched me over the top of the car. My life has never been the same.... Thank you BADD for being a voice.
I share the road with my 2 sons and pray every day the are safe. its nice to see an organization that is against drunk drivers and fights for our safety.
I am not a person who supports nonprofit organizations lightly but this is an organization I can really get behind. When I was a child, my mother, brother and I were all in the front seat when we were hit, head on, by a drunk driver. Fortunately we were in our 1955 Ford so the injuries were not serious. However, I did wake up in the back of a police car after being knocked unconscious upon impact. This organization gets the word out there about the casualties and devastation caused by accidents involving drunk drivers. Being a biker myself, this is something I can really get behind.
My charity has always been Wounded Warriors I they always come first Bikers Against Drunk Driv are awesome .The thing I've noticed most the men and women that contribute the most and have the best heart are the bikers They step up and give and give. Around Christmas time they Supply presents for kids that wouldn't normally get them. They have stood behind many people without a second thought. Let's all help them help others. If I could give them more than five stars I would give them 500
What a great organization bringing awareness to drunk drivers a few years ago I was out drinking and had way to much and got in my car I woke up in a ditch my car hit a tree I wasn't injured but my car was done for. I was so glad my life was taken or anyone else's
Would just like to say what a wonderful organization that this is. In the times we are living now there is so much stress, anxiety on each of us. I know from personal experience the effects of alcoholism. I cannot imagine the horrific consequences that it would make for families of a victim(s) as well as the families of the user of alcohol and driving would go thru. I prayer is for those suffering this disease that they would reach out for a cure and to our God for help.
Love what this group is doing. I see patches all over the place and information of what they are doing at every Talley. Keep up the great work.
I found your group on Facebook and have shared this will all of my biker and race car friends. Keep up the good work.
Ride Safe brothers and sisters.
The picture is father and daughter rides,,,
This is one of the greater charities out there and I love what they stand for. They are dedicated to making a huge impact on spreading the word and saving life’s from drunk drivers and it would be an honored to wear the BADD PATCH. Thank you for the awesome work you are doing!
Dear friend of mine was hit from the rear while seating at a red light awaiting green. Intoxicated 23 year old hit him and his old lady from behind at approximately 90 mph. He died 2 days later from his injuries and his old lady lasted 12 days before she passed. 11pm at night we should be safe to ride our motorcycles’ home without fear of intoxicated drivers but here we are.
This is one of the greater charities out there. I've had a couple friends die from drunk drivers. I've seen your precense in different areas BADD and I have to give a High 5 to the air!! You are doing wonderful thing! Stay with it!!
Thank you for the awesome job you all do. I had a friend 8yrs. ago get hit and killed by a drunk driver. She was a new mom and wife her name was Tammy. She will forever be in my heart and I prayer for her family everyday. So again keep up the great work you do. God bless!!
When I was in 3rd grade my mother was hit by a drunk driver walking home. She lived but hasn't been the same since. Throughout growing up I've seen too much death and heartache due to drunk driving. When I bought my first bike I made a promise to my mother and children that would never drink and drive and I am proud to say I haven't broken that promise! #LOVELIFE
This is a great organization that represents an extremely important cause. Drinking and driving affects all of us and awareness is a huge first step to the safety of all bikers and others on the road.
Thanks for all you guys and gals do!!
I’m a member of a small CMCC, I want to spread awareness of the dangers of drunk driving and that we won’t stand for it. Excellent mission! The patch is a great conversation starter!
I love knowing that there is a support system out there for us bikers/riders. Just learned about this group and LOVE what they stand for. I havent been a victim or know anyone that has been a victim personally but knowing that there is somewhere I can go to for full support if I ever need to is great! Thank you for all that you do!!
my brother was killed by a drunk driver in 2009 ,i wear my BADD patch with pride in his memory i love the work you's do and keep up the great job cheers
Incredible group that not only actively promotes staying sober on our roads, it assists riders that have fallen victim to drunk/drug drivers. Great work by humble people!!!
When i Just 19 a drunk driver with truck across the red signal on the downtown and crash with me and my motorcycle, i broken my left feet and Lost a finger.
This is one of the best charities iv ever seen as I'm in sobriety myself I will have 1 year clean and sober off all mind altering substances December3rd. I personally ride every single day I do not own a vehicle I only own a harley and I think this need to be spread more throughout the biker community please do not drink and drive or drink and ride if you do drink, be responsible about it or call a ride. And rember look twice to save a life !!!
Anything that helps keep drunk drivers off our roads. I have lost people I cared about to drunk drivers. I was a member of MADD (Mother's Against Drunk Drivers) for many years. The laws need to change. And organizations like this help. They also help educate people. I feel that a drunk driver should be charged with premeditated because everyone knows it's against the law.
i no first hand what drinking does i lost my cousin and my brother in law through drunk drivers ,this B A D D group do a good job getting it out to everyone , support forever
I’m proud to know this organization, and the mission they stand for! As a former LEO, I’ve had the displeasure of helping in the chaos of many wreck scenes where a driver made the choice to drive while under the influence, and I wish I could forget them.... Even more, I wish those wrecks would never have occurred. Just a simple choice to call a ride, or stay where you are to sleep it off, that’s all it takes.
I will always share the word about BADD, and what they stand for!
I strongly support all actions promoting sobriety on the roads. Party when it's time to party, but never get on a car drunk!
My mom's killed Four young college kids ten years ago in a drunk driving accident.It affected some many lives in so many ways may they r.i.p
I am just a normal person in an abnormal head up rear world. People so often don't take head to the traffic in any situation however this group is making know available anyone should understand. When you drink your senses are compromised and reaction slowed or stopped completely the life you save may not only be your own but your children, your future is at stake. Be wise safe and smart don't start. Look listen and feel so EMTs don't have to.
Have had the pleasure of seeing and speaking to a number of these folks at the Myrtle Beach bike rallies! Great group of people, supporting a wonderful cause! Thank you for what you do!
What a great organization! I love what it stands for!! I wish you had a branch in Australia, No drinking and driving for me. Thank you for your message.
Couldn't ask for a better organization...its hard enough dealing with the sober people when you're riding much less the drunk ones...anything to get you home safe
I believe in this cause whole heartedly. My wife and I had the unfortunate experience of seeing a biker die on the highway after being hit by a drunk driver, and anything that can be done from keeping this from happening is a worthy cause.
I used to be a DD...Finally ima clean&sober person for over 16 years..lost some close friends along the way to DDs..Hope it never happens again..Thanx!!
Too many accidents to count. Too many irresponsible people. Thank you for what you do and what you stand for.
This is one of the best organizations! I’ve known a bunch of people that lost their life to a drunk driver and I kinda worries me a lot when I’m out on my bike! That ya all for everything you do to get the word out!
I was so great ful to find you on Facebook. My family has been involved with made for many years. Keep up the wonderful work you are doing through this nonprofit.
BADD is an amazing organization. While traveling around we've met up with them at various runs, truly wonderful group to support, join with BADD!
After losing too many close riding friends to drunk drivers, any organization that can make a difference to help save lives, is worth 5 stars in my books. Thank you for all you do for the motorcycle community.
Absolutely proud of this opportunity to become part of this community and represent here in my country
I stand with this bike group , I believe in what they stand for if you drink don’t drive!!! Or ride!!
First heard about B.A.D.D. in 2007 on our first trip to Florida, have been immensely impressed by their ethos ever since. These guys keep it real and know how exposed we are on two wheels when drivers all around us cannot see us, especially when they've had a beer or three.
Here in the UK we experience the same issues but there's no organisation looking out for us.
B.A.D.D. rock and I hope are able to do so for many years to come.
I ride a motorcycle on a daily basis and see impaired drivers a lot. Among other issues we bikers face intoxicated drivers are a huge problem. Thank you for keeping awareness at the forefront.
Did a FB search to see if there was Bikers group for being against drunk driving. This group came up and I joined the FB group. Thanks for stand against driving under the influence and educating new and old Bikers.
I think this is a great organization. We need more areas of this across the USA. Thanks for all you do to keep those off the street under the influence
I’ve been to several events that are put on to support BADD and riders and there families always a good time at there events and rides thank you all who support
Myself an my GF we don't ride drunk we see so many ppl driving drunk, this is the organization I will stand by 24/7
These guys are the real deal. They are dedicated to making a huge impact on spreading the word and saving life’s from drunk drivers. I never met a organization more personable and driven like these guys. Keep up the great work and thank you for all that you do!
Saw them at Bike Week last week, for the 12th year straight. Great people and important mandate!!! Keep savin' lives.
I watched people during events, get drunk and ride/drive home and B.A.D.D. kiosks were the only one's pushing the idea and speaking of the dangers of drunk driving.... I was impressed because it is all party, alcohol and nothing else! Refreshing to see some responsibility at major events.
People do not realize the huge impact drunk driving has on our society and B.A.D.D. reminds them this with their presence and strong message worldwide.
Thanks you !!!
Thank you BADD for spreading the word There are way too many people drinking and driving. Too many drunk driver related accidents. You are doing a great job. Keep up the great work

This group has to be one of the most helpful and well needed groups around. They are helpful to victims as well as great at getting the word across about drinking and driving;
I love what these guys are all about.
Its simple if you drink dont drive call a cab urber lyift freind something. NO the least drunk person is not a designated driver. Dont risk harming yourself or others.
This is a great program. Too many drunk drivers on the road whether on a bike or in a cage. Need to help convince people to be responsible when drinking. Thanks for what you do!
I'm greatful for a group like this bringing awareness of a all to common disease. Bikers have been given a bad name for so many years of being alcoholics and drinking and driving I'm glad to see there are bikers out there fighting against it. Again thank you for what you do.
Great organization that brings awareness to a needed problem... keep up the good work!!!!

I salute B.A.D.D. for their existence and as the Founder/President of the Wild At Heart Motorcycle Club (www.wildatheartmotorcycleministry) I can say that we all appreciate their efforts immensely.
thanks guys and God Bless!

I can not think of a better nonprofit organization to be associated with , supporting & protecting children is a huge need !
The has helped friends of ours who were downed by drunk drivers and are true friends of every rider and raising the awareness of these accidents
I have had several friends who have been injured by drunk drivers. I believe in not drinking and driving/ riding! I would be very happy to show support by wearing your B.A.D.D. patch. Will be looking forward to seeing it in my mail! Thank you for all you do!
What more can I say about this organization other than it is Great! As a member of B.A.D.D it is our goal to ensure that we educate the public about the dangers of Drunk Driving. We can do this by setting up booths at rallies, or just by our members simply wearing their B.A.D.D. gear to get people talking. The camaraderie and friendships that are built on this common goal also help to kindle the fire of keeping bikers safer buy trying to eliminate drinking and riding! As a former police officer I have seen the dangers that Drinking and Riding can pose. It was a no brainer for me to join this wonderful organization!
Awesome organizations like this change the world. Many people wear the patch and i wouls love to be one of them.
Fortunately I don't know anyone who has been affected by the horrors that come from drink drivers and I really hope it stays that way. We read of the horrors on a weekly basis and this is unacceptable there should be zero tolerance on drinking and driving, if you want a drink leave the car at home simple as. I have no sympathy for anyone that does it and gets caught, if they loose their job it's just tough. I am looking forward to sporting your patch and I shall be advertising this great site in my FB page.
Many thanks for the great work you guys do.
Kind regards and great respect
Nigel.
This is an amazing organization. I have seen a lot of close friends get hurt by driving drunk and it has changed their lives being sober. Would love this patch
Awesome organization, spreading the information about how drunk driving can impact the lives of people... We all must be aware of how our decisions to drive drunk can impact people around us.... Simply don't do it!
I I ride in a Christian Motorcycle Ministry and have had way too many close calls ! God be with all on two wheels !
BADD IS A WONDERFUL THING THANK YOU FOR HELPING KEEP THE BIKER COMMUNITY S AWARE OF THE DANGERS OF DRINKING AND DRIVING!
I am a retired police office that worked the traffic unit for many years. BADD really helps to get the word out. the general public will pay more attention to their campaign before a state or local drunk driving campaign. they are a great asset to the LEO's that work the road!!!
I had a cousin that was killed on his bike by a drunk driver so BADD IS Something I support whole heartedly,thanks for all y'all do
I live in an area where there is a very active chapter of BADD.
I see them as I watch in horror the many tragedies that occur. They are on the scene offering their assistance and care.
I am not a biker, but so appreciate everything they do. Unfortunately, I cannot afford to financially support BADD, but wish to show my support for what they do.
This a great organization that helps bikers in times of need. And helps keep people aware of us bikers on the road and keep us safe. Keep up the great work.
This is a wonderful organization... Any organization that raises awareness bout motorcycle saftey and fights the problem of all D.U.I. drivers is an organization I would be proud to be a part of... Keep up the great job guys!!!!!!!
I am a SOBER biker, I support any organization that promotes safety on the road, especially for motorcycling.
A good service to the community is what B.A.D.D. provides, drinking and driving is a nationwide problem, and this group gets the word out to more people in my opinion than any other.
I believe in what they stand for. Less drunks Less accidents. I have many Bike friends ran down by drunk drivers so I would like to do my part to help.
It's a great cause and glad they are a voice to many, me myself know the importance of not drinking and riding or driving, it's cheaper to do it at HOME.
I'm just a guy with a bike that loves to ride!! And I personally have to much to live for to be injured or killed by somebody that is irresponsible and would put others in danger
I'm against drinking and driving after losing a cousin due to a drunk driver

For as long as I can remember I have heard nothing but amazing things related to this group.
From what I have seen this is a great bunch of "real people " who are actually active and not just a bumper sticker.
Keep up the good work.
Nov. 11, 2012 The worst day of my life. My daughter Jocelyn Beth Elberson was walking her puppy on the Amherst Bike Path in Buffalo NY, we got her it after open heart surgery. My wife and sister in law were with her. It was a very warm fall day and everyone was enjoying the day. All of a sudden along comes a bunch of bikes one of them passed the others just befor a slight curve and lost it hitting my daughter head on killing her and throwing her body 132 feet over the heads of my wife and sister in law he then slammed into another couple walking killing that woman and severely injuring her husband. Later we found out that the driver had 6 prior DWI 's. This man is currently serving 4-12 years in prison while all of us including my daughter are serving a life sentence!! Please don't drink and drive people have a plan. The picture is of Jocelyn and me earlier that summer.

November 11, 2012 my daughter Jocelyn was walking her new puppy for exercise. She recently had open heart surgery to fix her valve. It was a very beautiful warm fall day. Lots of people taking advantage of the great weather. My wife and sister inlaw were walking with each other and Jocelyn was 20 feet in front of them. All of a sudden a biker came along going faster than he should have ,misjudged his speed for the curve lost control and slammed into Jocelyn tossing her 135 ft. over my wife's head then crashing into another older couple killing both Jocelyn and the other woman. The other woman's husband was severely injured . The biker was drunk and this was his 7th DWI. My wife and I are working to get change in our leagal system to increase the punishment for repeat offenders in New York from the maximum 5-15 to 10-20. This law would be called Jocelyns law. I would love to wear the B. A. D. D. Patch in honor of Jocelyn to help spread the word. Don't Drink and Drive. Thanks for all your good work.
Set Free Ministries and Set Free Soldiers are with you in and are supporting BADD!! Check us out on facebook Set Free Ministries.
As someone who has lost a family member and a good friend to drunk drivers, I totally support the message that the folks at BADD are putting out to the world. I am a biker. I do not drink, even though I know that is kind of part of the "biker world" or the "biker image", the partying and drinking, well, not all of them do that, but those that do, I sure do wish they did not. It bothers me greatly to see folks drinking and riding a motorcycle, just the same as it bothers me to see people drinking and driving a car. All recipes for disaster. I greatly limit the number of bikers that will hang out with me because of my views and very outspoken opinion on biking and drinking but hey, I really do not care. I want to get home alive. I want all my biker friends to get home alive too. Sure the majority of drinking related accidents are caused by four wheeled vehicles but there is a fair share of two wheeled accidents out there too. Keep up the great work of raising awareness BADD! I think you all are just "bad to the bone" in everything you do for the biker world!
I have enjoyed the total message of BADD as it relates to awareness and the importance of never drinking and driving. The statistics provided tell the whole story but we need this champion message carrier to keep the seriousness of the privilege of personal travel and the headline of seriousness and sobriety that it carries. As the board chair of a local soup, meal & health kitchen I know you need great support at all levels to be successful.
Kudos to BADD
Have always supported this group! Keep up the great work!
Great to see people up the Standard and go beyond social stereotypes!
This is a great organization
People shouldn't drink and drive
And alway be on the look out for us bikers
Drunk driving affects us all in one way or another. I am thrilled to know that there are people (BIKERS!) who stand against this. What a wonderful nonprofit BADD is!
I was hit by a drunk driver and these guys was awesome towards me they do everything for everyone and I can't show enough support! I love them they are like family in my house!
This is a great cause that saves lives. Too many bikers have been in tragic accidents caused by drunk drivers.
I salute the efforts put forth by B.A.D.D. to educating the motoring public at large regarding the hazards associated with intoxicant impairment. Keep up the good work.
As a biker for over 40 years, and someone who has personally been affected drunk drivers, I can think of no better way to help fight the battle against drinking and driving than to join with others and have a voice! Please consider making a donation to the cause and help raise awareness and promote reducing the incidence of drunk driving and its consequences and at the same time safe a life that could turn out to be yours!
B.A.D.D. does an outstanding job in achieving its objective: to spread awareness of the issues concerning bikers on the road with drunk drivers. I respect, appreciate, and support their efforts. Thank you!

I am a FIRM believer in the BADD cause!!! It is a cause near and dear to my heart. I have been an old school biker for over 40yrs and have lost a few close friends due to the mix of drinking and driving. It isnt and never will worth the risk of fines, possible loss of driving privileges, jail time, and not to mention the personal injury to others. PLEASE support those who are fighting to end the tragedy caused by poor judgement and join Bikers Against Drunk Drivers now!!!
in 1986 I was a pedestrian and a drunk person hit me. I'm still suffering but ride my Harley whenever I can. This website is totally great to open up people's eyes. Some drunks will never get it. Tell me whaticando, I'll help if I can.
I feel they stand for a great cause and They do a great Job getting the word out there on Bikers against drunk driving ......Not all Bikers Drink! I for one am one of them! Thanks for all you do!

B.A.D.D. promotes motorcycling and the the motorcycle lifestyle while standing FIRMLY against driving/riding under the influence of alcohol.
GREAT organization....we had a local woman killed while riding her bike, by a drunk driver....in broad daylight. SO very sad. Keep up the good work raising awareness!!!

My husband and I ride, we don't drink alcohol. Period, never. I hate seeing someone drink and ride. There is no better high than the wind in your face! I say thx to this organization for promotions safe and sober riding! I will do whatever I can to spread the word!
this is a very great org. they have helped some fellow biker friends and they are very great at what they do and very caring I highly suggest them to any fellow bikers out there reading this rhey get a 5 star eating from me
I totally support this group as I`ve lost too many friends to Drunk Drivers over the years.....keep fighting the fight.....talking the talk......and walking the walk....right on BADD....let`s rock an roll....!!!
I follow this page on facebook great work been done here highlighting the issue . Keep up the good work
In 1997 I lost a best friend to drunk driving. We were partying at my house and there was a lot of drinking going on. At that time in our young lives we thought we were indestructible and nothing could hurt us. His name was Doug Smith. Big D is what we called him. We were like brothes. As the night came to a close Doug wanted to go home. He left around 1:00 am driving off with a beer in his pocket and one open one in his hand. I told him get home safe and I will see you at work. It was around 2:45am and my phone rang,it was Brea . Doug's soon to be wife. She asked me where he was and I told her he had left over a hour ago. That he probably stopped at Denny's for some grub. I hung up and fell back asleep. About a hour later she called me back. I still to this day get chills up my spine when I think of her words to me when I answered the phone. She said "Mark..... Doug is dead. Its your fault cause you let him leave your house drunk. And she hung up the phone. It was the most helpless and nightmareish feeling in the world. If he had just stayed,or if I had just took his keys he would be here today. I miss you Big D. Every day. I am sorry that I let you leave. Its really hard to write about it, but maybe just maybe someone out there who thinks there invincible will read this and think twice about riding or driving while intoxicated.
Andrew Bradley, follow this organization on facebook, brilliant, well done. Having been a victim of a drunk driver and left with a permanent injury when I was 18 that was life changing, I think its commendable that you are making people aware of the consequences of drunk driving. I think myself lucky that I survived my accident unlike many others, and have in recent years bought a cruiser and been able to have the pleasure of riding again. Keep up the good work and thankyou.
As a biker who was hit by a drunk who was speeding in a 30mph zone I feel this charity does excellent work.
I was lucky and only suffered bruising (unlike my poor bike)
Unfortunately too many are not so lucky and pay the ultimate price for their love of bikes.
Bringing awareness of drink driving is an important role and this charity does great work.
My father was also killed by a drunk driver although not on a bike.
The message from my point,
1 drink is too much if you are going to drive or ride.
Just wait until you get home if a drink is that important or get a lift/taxi.
Keep up the great work B.A.D.D.
Andy
As a former Recovery Vehicle Driver, I often had to clear up the carnage caused by drunk drivers. This was often unpleasant, but not as unpleasant as it was for the Emergency Services, who had the worst of it. I only cleared up the wreckage, whilst they had to deal with the human casualties involved. I can only applaud the work you do to spread the reality of the way lives are ruined, or ended by this behaviour.
Riding a bike is a great pleasure, but dangerous enough when other drivers are paying attention, when a drivers abilities are impaired by the effects of alcohol, riding a bike becomes a lottery.
B.A.D.D should become world wide, and not just nation-wide?
Great organization. Helping raise awareness against drinking and driving and the repercussions thereof. It happens way more often than people want to believe. Keep up the good work guys.
excellent group. Keep up the good work! too many people are affected by drivers who are intoxicated or just aren't paying attention.
I'm an avid motorcyclist and have lost many friends who rode that lost their lives due to drunk drivers and I'm glad that there aRe people like me who care enough a out their fellow riders to stand up for them even after they've had to leave us...
If you've ever ridden a motorcycle, you certainly understand the importance of this organization. Top notch!
Bikers Against Drunk Drivers is a great organization. It's nice to see our bikers bringing awareness to this issue. It happens all of the time! People need to think before getting behind the wheel and endangering their lives and the lives of others. Be safe out there and watch out for our fellow bikers!!!
My aunt and her husband were on their Harley headed home, when they were T-boned by a drunk driver. She was killed, her husbands legs were messed up really bad but he survived. The drunk driver served 6 months. No justice in that at all. If the information and help from this organization will stop just one drunk driver then it's every bit worth it. Everyone should be against drinking and driving. You never know it could be you or one of your family members next.
I have seen it to many times. It's sad to see how many people lose there life do to drinking and driving. If I can make a difference I will. If I can help make people aware of the consequences of drinking and driving it would be a safe road to ride on.
Been a driver all my life including tractor trailer and currently School Bus in my retirement as well as a cycle enthusiast and fully support what this group stands for....
Absolutely love the awareness you stand for. Many lives will surely be saved by constantly reminding people that drinking and driving is irresponsible and will not be tolerated by the brotherhood of bikers. I will proudly display this Bikers Against Drunk Driving patch on my leathers everywhere I go to help bring awareness to everyone I come in contact with during my adventures across the country.
The laws for drinking and driving have changed to .05. Should be Zero, period. Too many useless deaths due to alcohol and will continue until very drastic measures are enforced.
I have seen to many deaths involving drinking and driving. Any way that I can get the word out that it's not safe to do. I do not support Drinking and Driving involving any moving vehicle and will not allow anyone to leave my home if they have been drinking. I think B.A.D.D. Is an excellent organization and I am grateful to be here to help spread the word that this Biker is Against Drunk Driving!!
This is a great organization. I firmly believe that we should not drink or do drugs and ride. It is something I refuse to do. I don't ride with people who do to many die way to young.
I don't drink, drug or smoke anything. Been ran off the road more then once over the years by a drunk driver. I like what you stand for & would like to learn more. I think what your doing is great, keep up the good work.
Take care, be good & stay strong.
I totally agree with the cause; those who are drinking (from buzzed to drunk) should refrain from driving until they sober up! I have supported by proudly wearing the patch, pins and a t-shirt. BADD helps keep the message in focus....."drinking and driving don't mix". (P.S. Perhaps, consider adding another element...BAD&T or BAT&D = Bikers against Texting and Driving or Driving and Texting - there are far too many and seem as dangerous as those drinking!)
I've known a few that have lost their lives or been crippled by drunk drivers that are inconsiderate to bikers. I think that BADD does an excellent job of getting things out there and looking after bikers. Awesome site and I enjoy reading about things you all the things you have accomplished.
This is a great organization. I firmly believe that we should not drink and ride. It is something I refuse to do. I don't ride with people who do. A friend who had been drinking died last year in a crash. Way to young.
This is a great cause that needs as much support a I and others can give. I am a true believer in not drinking and driving bike or vehicle but bikes are so suseptible to vehicles it's scarey.
Back in the early 70s I was riding to the liquor store to by more. I cashed and swore to not ride again until I sobered up. Now that 27 yrs of sobriety I ride with pride and aware that drunk driver are there and around every corner. So ride with caution knowing that they are not caring about you the bikers.
Great organization for a great cause. My nephew passed away when he was hit by a drunk driver, so this cause is especially important to me.
As a lifelong rider, I have seen my share of bikers go down. Alcohol and riding don't mix. It's worse on a bike, no cage. Stay safe and ride to arrive.
Thank you for all you do , If just one person read s your message and thinks about the consenqueces of driving under the influence, a life could be saved
I just started riding and I know the dangers that are out there when people are sober. People who are drunk should not behind the wheel for any reason plus for Biker it's even more dangerous if a drunk driver is behind the wheel because they can't see them. We will just want to keep all of our brothers and sisters safe
30 years, 2.5 million members. Bikers against driving under the influence. This says it all. I love these guys and what they do. They got me for life!
This is an organization serving the public that will have far reaching results. It will (and has) saved lives.
My parents have had friends in motorcycle accidents, some of which could have been avoided.
This outreach is awesome.
Wonderful people working towards a great cause! Motorcycle Awareness and Operating under the Influence combined for life saving effects
There are some things that are too painful to talk about but wearing a statement speaks volumes. B.A.D.D. I thank you for speaking when some of us can't. Ride on God bless
The longevity and dedication of this organization is proof within itself of the greatness that is BADD.
Good group , friendly ,helpful , met them wile I was out , we talked and I was impressed . Wish more people did this
Thanks
Cornelius
B.A.D.D. is a very motivating and inspiring organization that works as a resource and brings people together to make awareness of the negative results of drunk driving. I lost a friend due to drunk driving. Sadly, he was the drunk driver. B.A.D.D. not only creates awareness of the loss of loved ones due to a third party's drunk driving. B.A.D.D. is dedicated to maintain awareness against any drunk driver. As a positive organization, they motivate all drivers to be there for each other as tight as us in biker partnerships are. Thank you B.A.D.D. for 30 years of unselfish service!!
As a mental health professional I see so many lives that have been devastated by alcohol and drugs. We as a society need to not tolerate driving under the influence. We need to create awareness about the negative impact of driving under the influence. I thank BADD for their efforts in this arena.
I 100% support everything that BADD stands for. This is a great organization that does great things.
Great nonprofit for bikers, I've read many stories of them stepping up with support and money for injued bikers
Love BADD, they stand for a cause dear to me, and they really help spread awareness against riding while "under the influence ". I am a proud supporter!!!!
I contacted BADD after my mother was hit by a drunk driver on June 6 and lost her left leg. They were very supportive and comforting. They said I had already taken care of everything they would have otherwise helped with, but that if I needed anything to call them back. It just felt good to have someone take the time to go over what I needed and make sure I had it. Thank you all and keep up the good work.
Great group! I'm a big advocate! Been riding for 6 years now, I've also worked in bars and this is a great cause
I love this charity! It speaks to something that I have great concern for. Please support and stand up for this wonderful group!
I recently found this charity after my wife's cousin was killed in a motorcycle accident. I ride as often as possible but my awareness level has gone way up. I just want to thank you for all the lives you have touched and changed.
Just believe its a good cause the more awareness we have about this problem the more we can try and resolve it before badd things happen to good people
We need more organizations like B.A.D.D. to keep our roads safe people safe and to help our new generation understand how dangerous it is to drink and drive
This is a very important charity; it is important to have community informed about the importance of not drinking and driving.
This is an outstanding group of people doing their bit to make the roads safer for all of us. It amazes me that this message still needs to get through to the few selfish inconsiderate people who think they can control a motor vehicle under the influence of drink. Keep shouting the message, a really cool bunch of people.
This is a unique organization. It stands up against drunk driving and does so in a community of bikers where a lot of them are drinkers. Truly a great organization.
As a biker, I know all the craziness there is on the road, drivers don't focus on other riders when they have a few drinks in their system, they just want to get home as soon as possible. Please support these guys who are doing their best to raise awareness on the road. Ride safe.
To the BADD staff, thankyou for all your hard work and all you do for us riders, and your fight to stop drinking and driving.
Awsome cause built by great people. To many people think all bikers are is drunks and drug users and that's not right bikers are real people who care drinking and driving not only can kill you it can ruin the lives of you and other families I commend badd and the men and women who stand against and educate people against the dangers of drunk driving.. thanks and keep it in the wind all...
I have Co workers that have gotten dui's and I try to tell family and friends why you shouldn't do it..
Please do a little more investigation before donating to this very bad BADD organization. Check out my Facebook page Bikers Against Drunk Driving- BADD The Real News with the real information. I was hit head on by a drunk driver who crossed over into my lane of traffic and contacted them on their Facebook page and they really wanted me to post my story. The only thing BADD ever sent me was one of their bumper stickers. As I tried to get information as to how they could help me and I tried contacting them on the phone with them never answering my calls. I started looking into them more and could not believe what I was finding which is all posted on my BADD The Real News Facebook page. I then started confronting them posting what I was finding on their Facebook page. It did not take them long to remove my post and questions and then they removed me and blocked me from being able to post any longer. Their IRS and what they reported is on my page and this man is unbelievable as to what he has taken robbed from donors and stolen from all of us very injured bikers.
i had a brother who was killed by a drunk driver, he wasnt on a bike, but being a bike i am highly against drinking and driving, and find this one of the best group ofpeople.ep up the great work..see ya down the road, god bless and ride safe!, dont drink and drive!
I believe that drinking is one choice, but no one should drink and drive regardless of how one thinks they can handle themselves period.

100% behind B.A.D.D.
We need a lot more people behind this and I have left invites to all my friends on facebook
Hello my name is Jesse and I'm proud to say I am a supporter for B.A.D.D. I'm glad I found a group that supports this. It needs to stop and were doing a great job by making this happen. My father was a alcoholic and he would get mean and drive with me and my little brother and it scared me. This is why I'm thankful to be part of this group and be a supporter. B.A.D.D. for life.
I've been licensed to ride motorcycles for 43 years and in all that time I've never had an accident on a motorcycle. However, while on my way home from work many years ago, a driver in a pickup changed into my lane after looking right at me while on a four lane highway, thankfully I had a wide shoulder to move to. When confronted at a traffic signal the obviously intoxicated driver told me he saw me but he didn't care that I was there, then the light changed and he drove away. I was momentarily dumbfounded by his statement. It is therefore that I totally support any effort to get or keep drunks off the roads for the safety of all, and especially as a motorcyclist. Hats off to BADD for their many years of service to cyclists everywhere.
You can never say enough about an organization like this. So many people are negativly effected by the stupidity of others. Let's raise the awareness
As a president of a motorcycle association that is dedicated to helping the community it is great we have others out there that are against drunk driving.. BADD is just that group and we support it 100@
To the BADD staff, thankyou for all your hard work and all you do for us riders, and your fight to stop drinking and driving. Ive been a member for 4 year now and every proud to be a part of it. Hats off to you all,
great people spreading good words. B.A.D.D. forever.

as a biker myself i think it is important to party responsibly and if you're going to drink, stay home and off the roads. i would like to make it to my destination safely and would like my friends and family to make it to theirs safely too. in return, if i were to drink i will stay home so that you can make it to your destination safely. if you drink, DO NOT DRIVE PLEASE.
I love what you guys do we all need to show people how wonderful you guys are and I plain on joining u guys on the journey.
Bikers against drunk drivers!
They are the best advocate for Bikers. Way too many people have no respect for us, but the worst is Drunk Drivers...
Thank you So much for what you do. My blessings and support to you keep doing what you do and we will keep spreading the word
Great Group to Belong to, i was rear ended at a Stop Light by a Drunk Driver who did not stop at all,i get plenty of mental and physical help by being a part of this Group,I Thank you For That.
Spreading a most important message... Doing great things for great people is what B.A.D.D. is all about!
When I lost my wife to a drink driver I did not know about BADD do I joined MADD. Not to knock that organization, but they weren't for me since I'm a biker and not a mother, and quite frankly they WERE mad (understandably so). BADD spreads awareness to a unique problem, protecting already vulnerable bikers from the effects of drunk driving. They raise money to promote awareness and then give a lot of it away to help those affected by drink driving. I'm sure they also spend a lot of money spreading awareness to their great cause. This is a great non profit!
Bikers against drunk drivers!
They are the best advocate for Bikers....too many people have no respect for us, but the worst is Drunk Drivers...
Thank you So much for what you do....
BADD is the best nonprofit group I have ever encountered. They do great things for people. Thanks for being such a great group of people. :)
i am a young biker lady for about 7 years now. i enjoy my bike riding a lot. we do a lot of charitys for children especially. you guys inspire me so much and gives me a wake up call every day with your storys on facebook. we lost a few of our biker pals because of drunk drivers. you are great and you do a great job by making everyone aware of whats going on and what to look out for.
I think that this is the best thing to happen for everyone to let the non riders be more aware of us out there and to educate everyone I've been driving for 33 years and seen to many riders and non riders injured by drunk drives so i'm glad to support you we have to put an end to this now
I have been a rider for several years. I have supported so many charities over the years, but none more honorable than B.A.D.D.
When I was younger, my Uncle was killed by a drunk driver. I know the senseless void this kind of loss brings. Now, as a biker, I can show my support for such a worthy and noble cause. My heart goes out to those who have suffered a loss, and my prayers go out to those who are, and support BA.D.D. May God be with you all.
Even tho I haven't had a need for this charity......yet, I'm glad they are there if I ever do need them!
Thank you
What a wonderful and great cause to be able to support this organization. Thanks for everything that you do to get the word out.
A REALLY GOOD GROUP THAT KEEPS AN EYE OUT FOR ALL MORORCYCLEST EVERYWHERE THIS IS A GOOD THING TO SEE IN THIS CRAZY WORLD WE LIVE IN PEACE KEEP ON DOING GOOD
I have had many family bikers go down from others driving under the influence and this hits home pretty hard for us here. That's why we're very passionate about B.A.D.D... And the influence that they put out there. I will proudly wear my patch, and t-shirts and this pin for as long as I am able. I FULLY recommend liking this page and becoming a member... There are many out there already, but there could never be too many members... Thank you for your support, and you will always have mine in return...
Was hit by a drunk driver in 2002. I am the lucky one. To be a new member of badd. I hope to be able to keep seeing the great work that your group is doing.
Being a latent motorcyclist, I am always grateful for others watching out for bikers. Great ideals, care, and love felt from and for B.A.D.D!
I have done and continue to do many charity events, your work is truely amazing. love your site, and the work you do.
I am a biker myself and to see that they are advocating on my behalf is a great feeling. Knowing that someone is out there making sure that motorcyclists are safe and seen is very reassuring and comforting.
Happy to see you out there and fighting for the rights of the hurt families and the victims of this crime. Make the stupid ones that do drink and drive pay big
I am impressed by this charity! Dedication and determination on there part is highly regarded! I am proud to be involved with this otganization!
I lost my grandmother (my mamaw) & best friend to a drunk driver. I applaud the efforts & will wear the patch with pride.
Because my husband rides bikes, and how vulnerable he is on a bike , I most certainly support an organization that is against driving under the influence of anything. .. alcohol or drugs. I would like to keep him around a long time.
I love this organization. Anything to bring attention to the dangers of drinking and driving I am behind. Motorcycle riding is dangerous enough without alcohol in the equation. Safety on the road is #1. Save a life and drive Sober!
I have been riding bikes on the street for 42 years. I have had several friends die or have been seriously injured either because they drank and rode or a drunk in a cage took them out.
Over 10,000 people died last year at the hands of impaired drivers, when will it be enough?
Thank you BADD for all you do!
Ride free
New to the bike riding but I have lost a lot of friends due to drunk driving. I am just starting to ride my bike but I am afraid because of the drunk drivers. I will surely wear your patch and thank you..
I ride with a group of guys who helps support our local vets, everything you do, no matter how small, just to put a smile on someone's face...is well worth the effort set forth. God bless

In today's world we always hear about a group or another trying to help others in need and spread the word on motorcycle safety.. Very few have accomplished the heights in communication on what it is to be part of a brotherhood .. B.A.D.D.- Bikers Against Drunk Drivers has done just that.. Over 2 million strong and continuing to grow.. Doin what most seem not as able to do in being a non-profit promoting Motorcycle Safety.. But in getting drunk drivers off the road.. Wether they be in cars or on Motorcycles themselves isn't just help the biker world ... But the safety of the Public in general.. A drunk doesn't have to hit a biker ..They can just as easily take out a family of 4 in the same manner.. And i support any organization that does just that.. and it is heartwarming to see some of the stories that have been helped out over he years thru this organization.. And it makes me proud to be a future supporter...
New member that finds the education offered to the public in valuable. Thank you for helping keep the roads a little safer
I live in a state where drunk driving laws aren't strict some offenders have numerous DWI convictions it's time to bring awareness to those that drink and drive that everyone is taking a stand against it
Lost my cousin 7 years ago to a under age drunk driver he was riding home on his motorcycle and a cop was following him when he was hit by the kid. In his wallet was a 6 month picture of my daughter. That day not only did I lose my cousin but my daughter lost her uncle. RIP ERIC
BADD Really makes a difference!!Awesome job of keeping people informed on the safety of driving sober. No one should have to worry when on the road. Your support in this matter is greatly appreciated and respected! !!
The majority of men in my family, most importantly my dad himself, are bikers, and I don't know what I would do if something happened to him. I haven't had a personal experience, nor do I want them to get hit by a drunk driver, but because of the close-ness to home, I completely support this wonderful organization and the work that they do. Thank you all so much.
A GREAT group that Helps get the word out about Road safety. Not just for us bikers, But even for the cagers out there to open their eyes an see what is going on around them. Glad to be apart of this movement to help wake people up. Thanks
One of the best organizations I have come across. Every piece of their information is always valid and never has to be questioned. I know when I run across something from them that I can count on the validity of it.
I lost my brother to a drunk driving accident exactly one week before his 20th birthday in 1985, and i ride, that makes this group very dear to me in a very personal way......keep up the good work!
This organization excels at getting information out to the public, increasing awareness. As a nurse working in a level1 trauma center, I see firsthand the dangers of drunk drivers. As a rider, I want to feel safe on the road. Thank you B.A.D.D.
Awesome job of keep people informed on the safty of driving sober. No one should have to worry when on the road. Your support is this matter is greatly appreciated and respected! !!
People that drive impaired risk the lives of others as well as their own. I lost a friend who chose to drink and ride and who also ruined the life of another friend who chose to ride with him. BADD is doing a great service to attempt to bring awareness to the masses.
I have since removed my BADD patch and will no longer support them. They need to help people more. The numbers don't reflect that.
BADD is a good group of people, helping to keep the public aware of the saying " don't drive or ride drunk"
I think it's time for people to know about this organization. The management refuses to have complete disclosure of donation disbursement. Check out the numbers from their required government paperwork filings.
Public records show:
2012 - $879,891 income / $8,700 paid out to victims (less than 1 percent)
2011 - $950,487 income / $9,200 paid out to victims (less than 1 percent)
2010 - $912,000 income / $2,400 paid out to victims (less than 0.2 percent)
Beware of this scam!!!
After almost 30 years in Law Enforcement I can not stress this subject enough. Have seen way too much death and destruction. Please don't drink and drive at all but most of all NOT DRUNK.
Turning up the awareness on drunk driving saves lives everyday. Many thousands of lives are saved every year because of this program. Every day, every two minutes, there is a drunk driving "accident." Most drunk drivers will drive on suspended licenses and have done so many times before getting caught, dying or killing someone. B.A.D.D. saves lives, through education for risk reduction and continues to help the victims of drunk drivers.
Someone's child did NOT die today, because of B.A.D.D. Could have been yours.
We love and respect you all. B.A.D.D. are a great group of people , we have the utmost respect for you all ! God Bless each and everyone of you.
it is great what you do about drunk driving.there have been a lot of people hurt andkilled.thank you for everything you do and kand wish there was more poeple like you
Great people making a great impact on lives. More people should think the way these do! The world would be a lot safer for our two wheeled loved ones.
I found out about B.A.D.D. through a friend and must say that they are by far one of the best groups giving back to the community!
BADD is an great group doing more than just talking. They are out there doing things that other just talk about. Keep up the good work and as always....Ride Safe
BADD has been a great influence in our local area, including supporting our annual Autism Awareness Event. My son is always thrilled to see them out there and it is great to see a group as well known who still helps out the causes. I would invite them to any event without hesitation.
Great people providing a great voice to help people realize the impact of their actions! Terrific organization!
Being a 11 year recovering alcoholic I applaud your efforts. We only need to reach out early person at a time
Great organisation and I hope we can get something similar here in Sweden soon. Keep up the good work against drunk drivers :)
I couldn't be more thankful for bikers doing a good deed. It helps to show the public that not everyone on a bike with tattoos are bad. Love you all!
This is a wonderful organization that does so much for so many people. They are amazing I wish their were more caring people and organizations out there like Bikers Against Drunk Drivers.
These are great people , doing a great thing.There are not enough groups like this that help people.Thank you.
I have been riding for about 5 yrs now and in that time I have been inches from death brought on my drunks drivers numerous times.....no matter how flashy y8ur bike is or how loud your pipes are drunks just cant react fast enough......B.A.D.D. does everything it can to bring awarness to drunk driving and what it can do to bikers cagers and peds.....by doing so they have hopfully saved as many lives as possible by helping people realize that driving drunk is not worth it......they do amazing things.....
B.A.D.D to me needs the Respect they desereve for putting out the word that its not right to Drink and Drive ,at anytime .I support this group of great people for a great cause..peace
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Guilty-Girlz-RC-of-Michigan-Club/529463707193973 We are a non profit that support BADD and do not drink and ride as it is we ha lost too many Family members to this. Respect and Love to This organization. Love the Guilty Girlz RC of Michigan

Thx for all u guys and girls do u guys make people around the nation aware of what's going on and maybe keep people from driving drunk thx again
Thank you for all you do. BADD is a very worthwhile and worthy cause. I have no story to tell but after reading some of the stories on here I just want to pass the message along to others. Again, thank you for all you do.
Ride on, ride free...
too many people still drink and drive. the more the groups like this the better. i support theses guys with all my heart
I think this is one of the best charitys that any rider could get behind. This could help so many people.
This charity is such a big help to so many people that most others can't or won't help..... They deserve 5 stars
MY FATHER WAS HIT BY A DRUNK DRIVER MANY YEARS AGO. HE WAS NOT BADLY HURT BUT WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY. I SUPPORT THIS EFFORT 100%. THANKS

Great organization...having known someone killed by a drunk driver this hits close to home for me. I will forever advocate for programs like this one to make the general public aware of the dangers of drinking and driving.
great bunch of people with similar interesting experiences to share.
facebook page is constantly updated with storys and picturesetc , of the way they help and handle members and people alike.
Happy to be a part of it.

It's great how it keeps us informed not to drink and drive. I ride and have always stood behind no drinking while I'm riding
This is an amazing organization. Im totally against drinking and driving lost a family member and a brother lost his eye sight.!!! Keep up the great work.
This subject is near and dear to my heart. I have lost several friends to drunk drivers and B.A.D.D. is a great way to spread the word against drunk driving. Great organization! Happy to support!
Something shady here noticed 75 % of reviews are volunteers hmmm bet they we're paid a pretty penny for those 5 star ratings cuz its all bout Big D
I think what u guys do is great. There are so many people out there that drink and drive and make the roads unsafe for anyone not just bikers. The more people out there helping B.a.d.d the better it will be for everyone. It is important to let people know.
B.A.D.D. does an outstanding job making people aware that drinking and driving just do not mix. I can only imagine the number of lives B.A.D.D. has saved just by making people think, and that is a number that no one will ever know, and with the advertising, website and social media, there will be a lot of lives saved in the future thanks to the fantastic work B.A.D.D. does.
I am absolutely supportive of BADD my husband and myself
Ride all the time and that is one thing we are 100% against is drunk driving !!! This organization brings a lot of awareness and is amazing !!!
my wife was almost killed by a drunk driver i think this group is the best for awarness on drunk driving
Great work. Spreading the word in s positive manner. Love them! Bikers against drunk driving. Woohoo! *****
BADD is a great program helping fellow bikers and helping people everywhere learn about safety and drinking while driving. This program is needed in the world.
Been watching this group for a while and am impressed with the level of commitment they have involved in their program! B.A.D.D. is a great program, doing good things!
This is an excellent organization. Drunk driving of any kind is a terrible thing. To many lives have been lost because of drunk drivers. I myself have been clean and sober for 21 years
Wonderful organization. Too many accidents and deaths on the road due to foolish choices. People need to be reminded. Keep up the good work.
A greatly appreciated & hard working group, who are spreading the message WORLD-WIDE in strong & loud voice exposing the damage done the lives of people,families & communities by the unthinking/apathetic attitudes that still purvey our societies of "..it'll be OK!".
All areas' of behavior on the road show up & are indeed more noticeable when you ride a bike, as we have more to concentrate on & less to protect us with: making B.A.D.D. the perfect group to get to & explain the truths & expose the myths about 'just a couple won't hurt!'
By all means if you find yourself or community in need of proof as to what a turning a blind-eye to this problem can do contact B.A.D.D. help their great work by supporting them going forward through a range of awareness merchandise they have on their site.

I've read many first-hand accounts from fellow bikers who have been helped by BADD. I think it's a wonderful organization doing great things to help people in a time of need.
I have been reading about the organization and I think it's great! I'm proud to be a biker and my husband I support and participate in runs to support great causes. Thanks again for this organization!
Bevie and Rick Lytle
Great group of ppl here! Met some members in Sturgis! Drunk driving is no good for anyone! Ride on my brothers, and sisters!
B.A.D.D. is an amazing organization, helping in a real needed way! I have known many biker that have been taken out by drunk drivers, this needs to stop. As bikers, we deserve to ride safely with out the fear of being hit by someone who has been drinking. Thanks, B.A.D.D. for all you're doing!
Your organization is one that demands respect. I'm proud of the role you take in the riding world. Thanks.
This is a great cause I have a few friends who have been killed and hurt badly because some idiot who doesn't know when to quit drinking gets in a car or other vehicle and drives and I believe its time to step up and do something about this problem thank you guys for making everyone aware that there is a problem and trying to do something about it.
Great Cause! Best organization in helping the streets stay safe not only for two wheelers but everybody! This Organization rocks!
My wife's husband, before me, got killed by a drunk driver while on the job in Houston Tx. He was a great man and donated his time to the church. He is still missed to this day.
BADD is a great organization. Bikers are as aware of the dangers of drinking and driving as everyone else.
Please support this fantastic organization. ....All my family ride motorbikes and my worst fear is drunk drivers. ...Cheers
My ex-wifes' parents were killed by a drunk driver in 1987,as they were leaving a Christmas lights display in Broadview Hts ,Ohio.I'm in recovery myself.Please don't drink and drive.
It is so refreshing to learn about and be a supporter of a nonprofit biker organization. And the cause couldn't be more important. Drunk drivers kill people of all ages and do millions of dollars of property damage each year. There is absolutely NO EXCUSE for driving impaired much less drunk. There are plenty of people and organizations/businesses that will give you a ride home if you can't drive. We should encourage everyone to designate drivers when they go out drinking and ensure that we practice what we preach! B.A.D.D. is at the front of this movement!
Not many groups I will brag on. But you guys do a great job. Keep up the good work and PLEASE DON'T DRINK AND RIDE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
B.A.A.D. Is a great organization for getting the word out about drunk driving.
around 50 to 75% of convicted drunk drivers continue to drive on suspended license
Teen age drunk driving kills eight teens every day. These facts are why B.A.D.D. is working
so hard to stop drunk driving.
I live in England I support what you do state side trying to keep the guys and gals riding safe keep up the great work Greg
B.A.D.D. is a great organization. They help save lives by spreading the word to not drink and drive .
Save a life. Don't drink and drive.
What a great Organization putting the word out DONT DRINK AND DRIVE ride safe thanks and always watch your surroundings
If you truly enjoy and respect the life and fun and freedom of riding you will also respect your life and the life of others and ride sober. Life and riding is so much clearer sober!
I'm a proud B.A.D.D supporter! Me and my bro's never drink and ride.If you do all I can say is THINK about it is it worth it.
I don't have a personal story myself, but I am aware of many brothers and sisters who do. BADD provides invaluable educational resources, and support for survivors. I am proud to say I support such a worthy organization. Thank you for all you do, and keep the shiny side up!
Great organization working to make the public aware of the dangers of drinking and driving as bikers are especially at danger of being killed by those who choose to do this.
This organization seems to be the cream of the crop as far as support groups go and they always offer a helping hand and their support is never ending
Have been riding most of my life... Been in LE for many years now and back BADD 100% and support your efforts everyday. Bless you for what you do... Jeff from Or.
My wife and I worked in Mortuary Science. We saw more cases than we care to remember as a resilt of drunk driving so this is a subject very close to our hearts. We promote all means of deterring drunk driving including going into graphic detail of cases we worked on, with newly licenced, young drivers, to hit home the painful reality of drunk driving and for some time, being bikers ourselves we promote BADD also.
We'll never know for sure but even saving one life by sharing the painful experiences of drunk driving then none of the effort has been in vain.
Keep up the great work.
B.A.D.D is a great thing we have lost so many brothers and sisters to the road by drunk drives and I have had friend be very lucky and make a come back to be able to ride again
