That’s right! This weekend, Chad Leathers and more than 400 others ran around the Capital IN THEIR UNDERWEAR for the Children’s Tumor Foundation. The event raised more than $12,000 for NF research and was called a “smashing success” by DC’s Examiner.com. This was the first annual Cupid’s Undie Run organized by fellow Tumornator Brendan Hanrahan. We vow to keep the “FUN” in FUNdraising, so… UGAT Undie Run? Leave a comment to let us know!

Our First UGA Tumornators Percentage Night was a HUGE success! Special Thanks to Travis Boyles and Sand Bar for your support! Travis Boyles donated his time to play for the event, and played some great music. Travis Boyles is from Athens and often plays in local bars and other venues. Sand Bar was a vital part in our success for allowing us to have a percentage of their sales for the night! We can’t thank everyone enough for coming out and supporting us! We are having another percentage night Tuesday, November 17, 2009 at On the Rocks on Clayton Street. So we hope to see everyone out for another great night of fighting for a cure for NF!

The UGA Tumornators minus a few

UGA Tumornators is a fundraising team started by the Leathers/Cone family in conjunction with the Children’s Tumor Foundation that is dedicated to raising money and awareness to end. Neurofibromatosis (NF) and Schwannomatosis through research.

On Christmas Eve 2006 while driving back to Georgia from one of Drew’s many surgeries at Johns Hopkins Hospital, the family decided to take a more active role in Drew’s illness. The foundation was born February 2007 when they put together a compelling slideshow telling Drew’s story that, accompanied by a heartfelt song written by Drew’s brother, Ben, appeared on the newly-formed web site.

Thanks to the generosity of people like you, the grassroots campaign has raised over $100,000 to date through fundraisers, donations and with the help of friends like Atlanta Braves right fielder Jeff Francoeur and former NFL player Matt Stinchcomb and New Orleans Saint, Jon Stinchcomb.

All funds raised are donated directly to the Children’s Tumor Foundation so that Drew and others like him can live a life free of the devastating impact of tumors.
