The Cupid’s Undie Run is a one-mile race in which participants run in their best underwear attire on Valentine’s Day weekend in an effort to raise money for the CTF. In 2013, the Undie Run was held in several cities, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia.

As a nonprofit organization, the CTF is dedicated to improving the lives of millions of individuals who are affected by neurofibromatosis, a condition that results in the growth of tumors along different nerves in the body. The organization strives to heighten awareness of the condition among the general public; provide assistance to individuals who have been diagnosed and their families; and to support research in order to find treatments and a cure for this disease.
