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. The Charleston event will take place on February 15, 2025, from noon until 4 pm, at Loggerhead's Beach Grill on Folly Beach (123 W Ashley Ave).
From Boston to Orlando, Washington, D.C. to Los Angeles and dozens of cities in between, 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. Participants are encouraged to let their personalities shine - whether it’s in their favorite undies, PJ’s, or a creative costume.
NF is a group of genetic conditions that causes tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body and affects 1 in 2,000 births, which is about 4 million people worldwide. Anyone can be born with NF across all populations, and it affects everyone differently. NF can cause a wide range of systems, including blindness, deafness, bone abnormalities, disfigurement, learning challenges, disabling pain, or cancer.
The Children’s Tumor Foundation (CTF) is a global leader and catalyst for advancing treatments for neurofibromatosis and schwannomatosis (collectively known as NF). As the driving force behind NF drug discovery and development, CTF unites patients, researchers, clinicians, and industry to propel innovative therapies from the lab to the clinic. CTF is laser-focused on delivering approved treatments and ultimately finding cures for all forms of NF.
