AN UNDIE RUN? FOR CHARITY? LET’S DO THIS!

ABOUT CUPID’SCupid’s Undie Run has become an international fundraising fun-run phenomenon in its “brief” 6-year history. Attendees partakein a pre-race party, run a 1(ish) mile course in their undies, then return back to the party to celebrate everyone’s efforts… all inyour undies! 100% of net proceeds go towards NF research through the Children’s Tumor Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profitrated 4-stars by Charity Navigator and spending less than 10% on administrative costs.

Started by a few friends in Washington DC with 650 runners and $10,000 of fundraising, Cupid’s is now in 39 cities across theworld and has raised over $7,000,000 for NF research. With prominent media features including the Today Show, CNN, HuffPo,Runner’s World, NPR and much more, Cupid’s has had more than 8 million page views and has hosted nearly 30,000 scantily-cladrunners around the globe.

100% of net proceeds go towards NF research through the Children’s TumorFoundation.

The Children’s Tumor Foundation (CTF) and Cupid Charities are both 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations. CTF pridesitself on its 4-Star Charity Navigator rating, spending 82.4% of its revenue on programs and research and less than8% on administrative costs.

Cupid’s $2.7M in fundraising accounted for nearly 25% of CTF’s annual budget in 2014.

The Children’s Tumor Foundation was established in 1978 with the mission to end NF (neurofibromatosis) throughresearch. Over the past five years, the foundation has funded more research than in the previous 20 combined.

Children’s Tumor Foundation was awarded Charity Navigator’s highest rating of 4 stars because of their efficiency ofoperation. The foundation’s point of pride however is in the recent surge in NF clinical trials. A clinical trial is the laststage before treatment, and since 2007, CTF has greatly influenced the growth from 2 trails, to more than 26 in2013. This remarkable increase is directly linked to the collaboration and funding of the foundation, the researchcommunity, and industry partnership. Learn more at www.CTF.org
