Brave the Cold, Warm the Heart: America’s Biggest Pants-Free Party for a Cure is Back!

In February, thousands of bold, pants-less participants will hit the streets in 34 cities across the U.S. for the annual Cupid’s Undie Run, a one-of-a-kind fundraiser for the Children’s Tumor Foundation (CTF). This unforgettable event raises awareness for NF and funds vital research to combat the rare genetic condition that causes tumors to grow all over the body.

Fearless fundraisers in eye-catching outfits - everything from superhero undies to laugh-out-loud costumes - will join in America’s most daring and fun-loving charity event. The day kicks off with music, mingling, and a drink (or two), followed by a "brief" one-mile(ish) jog and an epic dance party to top it all off, celebrating the best costumes and top fundraisers.

And we need YOU to help pull off this pantless party in Boston! Join our tribe of undie-loving "thrillanthropists" on February 15th, 2025. Express interest here or each out to Boston@Cupids.org to get in touch and receive more information on what volunteer opportunities are available.

About Children's Tumor Foundation

Location:

697 3rd St.,, Suite 418, New York, NY 10017, US

Mission Statement

The Children's Tumor Foundation's mission is to drive research, expand knowledge, and advance care for the NF community.

Description

Neurofibromatosis, or NF, is a genetic disorder that affects one in every 3,000 people. It can cause tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body, and complications from NF can lead to disfigurement, deafness, blindness, skeletal abnormalities, learning disabilities, malignancies, and debilitating pain. NF affects all populations equally, and there is not yet a cure.

The Children’s Tumor Foundation is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization dedicated to finding effective treatments for the millions of people worldwide living with neurofibromatosis (NF), a term for three distinct disorders: NF1, NF2, and schwannomatosis. NF causes tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body and may lead to blindness, deafness, bone abnormalities, disfigurement, learning disabilities, disabling pain, and cancer. NF affects 1 in every 3,000 births across all populations equally. There is no cure yet - but the Children’s Tumor Foundation mission of driving research, expanding knowledge, and advancing care for the NF community fosters our vision of one day ending NF.
