Bobby Gill is Co-founder and Chief Operations Officer of Cupid Charities, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that produces the worldwide Cupid's Undie Run charity run series. The Run Series raises millions of dollars each year to fund neuro fibro matosis research, a rare genetic disorder causing tumors to grow rampantly on the nervous system.

 In a previous life, Bobby was a biomedical engineer for the Food & Drug Administration reviewing cardiovascular devices for safety and effectiveness. As the success and demands of Cupid's Undie Run grew, he shifted his career path from federal to philanthropic and hasn't looked back since. He now spends his days optimizing fundraising efforts and ensuring that the largely volunteer organization grows sustainably.

What is Cupid’s Undie Run?

Cupid’s Undie Run is a mile(ish) run in your bedroom-best on Valentine’s weekend. No, they’re not crazy, they’re just crazy serious about raising money for The Children’s Tumor Foundation. They raised over $2.8 Million in donations last year!

The organization was founded by friends Bobby Gill, Brendan Hanrahan and Chad Leathers, who wanted to raise money for the Children’s Tumor Foundation to fund research for  neurofibromatosis (NF), a disease (affecting Chad’s brother) that causes tumors to develop in the nervous system beginning in childhood. This is the same condition that affects Nick Gilbert, the son of Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert (who is a major supporter of Cupid’s).
