FORT MYERS, Fla. — Madisen’s Match, the Southwest Florida-based nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting pediatric cancer patients and families, is proud to announce a new partnership with Cliff Drysdale Tennis, a division of Troon, to expand the organization’s charitable tennis events to premier resort destinations across the country.
The partnership will officially launch with an inaugural Madisen’s Match tennis event on November 7, 2026, at Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa in Austin, Texas.
Headlining the event will be tennis icons Mike Bryan and Bob Bryan, widely regarded as the greatest doubles team in the history of professional tennis. The Bryan Brothers will participate in the Madisen’ Match Legends Tennis Camp, VIP Pro-Am, and Exhibition designed to create a world-class tennis and entertainment experience while raising critical funds for children battling cancer.
Founded in honor of event founder, Duane Chaney’s 3 year old niece, Madisen’s Match has spent the past 16 years raising awareness and financial support for pediatric cancer initiatives, helping countless families through treatment assistance, scholarships, and hospital support programs.
“This partnership with Cliff Drysdale Tennis and Troon represents an exciting new chapter for Madisen’s Match,” said Duane Chaney, Founder of Madisen’s Match. “We have built something very special in Southwest Florida, and now we have the opportunity to expand that impact to incredible resort communities around the country. We are especially excited to begin at Barton Creek and bring an unforgettable event to the Austin community.”
As part of the organization’s expansion into Texas, Madisen’s Match also plans to partner with an Austin-based brain cancer charity to ensure proceeds from the event provide meaningful local impact for children and families facing pediatric brain cancer diagnoses.
Organizers hope the event will become an annual tradition at Barton Creek, bringing together tennis enthusiasts, philanthropists, resort members, and the Austin community for a weekend centered around world-class tennis and charitable giving.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with Madisen’s Match and support the meaningful work they do for children and families affected by cancer,” said Katie Steck, Vice President of Travel and Events for Cliff Drysdale Tennis. “The combination of elite tennis experiences and charitable impact aligns perfectly with the culture of our resorts and members.”
Additional event details, sponsorship opportunities, and ticket information will be announced in the coming months.
