Play Yellow Partners with Austin Championship

Play Yellow, a fundraising initiative by the Children's Miracle Network (CMN), is thrilled to announce its involvement in the inaugural Austin Championship, presented by Compliance Solutions. This groundbreaking event aims to enhance children's healthcare in the local area by directing proceeds from the tournament to the Dell Children's Medical Center. The collaboration signifies a vital step towards ensuring that children receive the necessary medical attention and support they need in their formative years.

The Austin Championship not only highlights the booming golf scene in Central Texas but also serves as a platform for community engagement. With the backing of prominent sponsors such as Delta Air Lines, the tournament is set to elevate its message of compassion and action, inviting golfers and fans alike to partake in a cause that resonates deeply within the community.

A Partnership Rooted in Compassion

For over four decades, Children's Miracle Network has been a beacon of hope in children's healthcare, striving to provide essential resources to hospitals across the U.S. and Canada. This partnership with the PGA Tour and Play Yellow brings together the golfing community in a collective effort to improve children's healthcare outcomes. The presence of CMN National Champion Bryce alongside Jack and Barbara Nicklaus emphasizes the personal connection many have to the mission. Their collaboration aims to bridge the gap between enjoyment of the sport and the pressing needs of local children's health services.

Becca Evans, the National Director of Play Yellow, expressed her excitement, stating, "Our partnership with the PGA Tour and events like the Austin Championship presented by Compliance Solutions reminds us what's possible when a community comes together for kids. We are grateful for every golfer, fan, and partner who helps make big change for all kids." This sentiment reflects the overwhelming support from golfers and fans, creating a positive impact on families in need of exceptional medical care for their children.

Delta Air Lines Sponsors Play Yellow Sunday

A highlight of the tournament is Play Yellow Sunday, sponsored by Delta Air Lines, where golfers and attendees will be encouraged to wear yellow in support of children's healthcare. A total of ten patient families will be honored at the event, walking alongside golf professionals while donning caddie bibs showcasing sponsor logos.

Among these children is Jett Payne, a local CMN champion whose journey underscores the importance of accessible and specialized pediatric care. Jett faced severe health challenges at birth, suffering from seizures and requiring immediate medical attention. Thanks to the dedication of medical professionals at Dell Children’s Medical Center, he received life-saving care that has allowed him to thrive today. With his family present during the tournament, Jett symbolizes the transformative power of community support and effective healthcare.

Supporting Local Heroes

Dell Children's Medical Center is a cornerstone within the Children's Miracle Network framework, committed to providing world-class healthcare services to families in Central Texas. Since its establishment in 2007, the hospital has served as the only freestanding pediatric Level I trauma center in the area. This partnership with CMN allows Dell Children's to continually advance healthcare standards, catering to the diverse needs of pediatric patients, including specialized procedures such as heart and bone marrow transplants.

The commitment of sponsors and local partners is vital. Megan Campuzano, Senior Director, Annual Giving, at Dell Children’s Medical Center, remarked, "Every day at Dell Children's, we see the difference that access to specialized pediatric care makes in the lives of children and their families. We are grateful to Play Yellow, Children's Miracle Network, the PGA Tour, and every supporter making this event a reality."
