Cupid’s Undie Run is returning to Orlando for another year of raising awareness about rare genetic disorder, and having fun in your undies! Every February, thousands of undie runners in cities all across the U.S. come together, to support those affected by NF, a genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body and affects 1 in every 3,000 births. Here in Orlando, hundred's of people are expected to gather downtown on Saturday, February 17 to take part in a BRIEF and uplifting run in their undies for this year's Cupid's Undie Run. The main purpose of Cupid's Undue Run is to raise awareness of neurofibromatosis (NF), a genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body. As well as raising awareness and money for the Children's Tumor Foundation, Cupid’s Undie Run is a lot of fun too, the day kicks off with drinking and a lot of dancing, before participants run, jog, or walk around a mile, before crossing the finish line for an epic dance party! If you want to enjoy a fun day in your undies in downtown, it costs you $45 to register, and then you can get your family and friends to donate to the cause! Register now!! For more details and to donate click here. Oh and just in case you were wondering why runners run in their undies, organisers say "it's because those affected by NF can’t cover up their tumors. They can’t put on clothes to feel more comfortable, so why should we?" Since 2010, organizers have brought together over 108,600 undie runners to raise over $21,700,000 since the inception of Cupid’s Undie Run, with 100% of net proceeds funding NF research, through a partnership with the Children’s Tumor Foundation.

OWNERSHIP: Atelier Dining Group’s founder and owner Jonathan Pluvinet was born in France to a family steeped in the industry, with parents who owned several restaurants and a hotel in France. Inspired by the family legacy of entrepreneurship, Pluvinet pursued a B.S. in Business, along with a full-ride sports scholarship for skiing, at The University of Nevada, Reno. In just over 10 years, he has developed three European-inspired dining concepts and four locations in the highly competitive markets Las Vegas and Orlando. At just 26 years of age, he launched his first dining concept with Rosallie Le French Café in Las Vegas, then set his sights on Central Florida to launch two restaurants in downtown historic Winter Garden — another Rosallie Le French Café and a second concept with Mangoni Italian Market Pizza (named after his grandfather). Now 37 years old, he adds the new Helena Modern Riviera as the piece de resistance in a growing portfolio that represents the full dining scene - from casual cafés to fine dining - with his own unique touch.

Bayside is an American punk rock band from the Bayside, Queens neighborhood of New York City, formed in 2000 by lead vocalist Anthony Raneri. The group also consists of lead guitarist Jack O'Shea, bassist Nick Ghanbarian, and drummer Chris Guglielmo. In 2021, Bayside celebrated more than two decades with the 21 Years of Really Bad Luck anniversary tour. For the past 21 years, Bayside has represented a lifestyle, a counterculture, and a deeply held conviction, diverse in thought and background but united by a shared desire for authentic expression. At their core, Bayside is a band that has constantly proved that music is not about gimmicks and ephemeral trends, but a timeless reflection of our lives and our times. It is through this timelessness and consistency that they continue to cultivate a cult-following that lives and breathes everything the band creates. Bayside has always focused on creating songs that are relevant to people who want substance, rather than being relegated to one genre. And while many bands would coast on their past success, Bayside rejects the premise and proves time and again that the best is yet to come. With The Red EP, fans see Bayside refining their unique brand of punk rock even further. The EP’s three songs offer powerful, hard-hitting melodies that draw upon the band’s heavier influences. Fans can look forward to more new music coming soon.
