Biker Blocko looks big this year, but "donations" to MADD again

It sucks that some people will not attend just because of the charity it donates too, but the show must go on...I didnt even know there was any issues with MADD until I read a thread just like this one about it last year.....Not sure why they didnt make any changes as far as the charity...Im sure if no one went because of it they would change, but it seems 1000+ people still go so its not broken why fix it.....

It seems like you're underplaying how big of a deal it is. Sure, people will go even if it is MADD. But there could also be a lot more people if MADD wasn't the charity receiving the proceeds. Since you're on stunters inc., I'd assume you have more influence than the average biker does. Why not try to do something about it?

There's clearly enough disapproval for it to matter, no? It seems like the whole point of donating is lost if it goes to a charity/organization that doesn't have a decent record of putting the money to good use.
 
For every person who objects to MADD there are 5 who support them, not knowing the history behind them. After all; who wants to be seen as coming out in support of drunk drivers?

Nope I just ride at the event and am an acquaintance with the organizer, I have nothing to do with the organization or planning of the event, I just show up every year and ride. I mentioned it to the main man last time a thread like this came up on here about last years event, and they didn't change it. So again I guess its not that big of a deal to them, and yes or me either....I dont have to donate because Im in the stunt show......And like I said no one I know that goes knows or even cares about the MADD scandal....Maybe everyone I know is just stupid or have fat pockets, but they dont make a big fuss about where their $5 for parking is going....They go for the event itself and to support us doing the stunts

Maybe if there was people boycotting MADD with signs, there would be more awareness about the problems with MADD? Cause right now I can assure you %80 or more that attend have no clue whats up in MADD

+1 Majority of people just have no clue what is up with MADD, and they have some other great sponsor's too.

My friend works at Kahuna, and says they have been going through flyers like crazy. Im not going to be surprised if this year has the largest turn out yet....As far as stunt shows that I attend go, its the largest event we do every year....And I really look forward to it every year...

Besides being a West Indian event a few more reminders about not driving drunk are probably needed
