Delta Air Lines to sponsor Play Yellow Sunday, celebrating local patient families and supporting Dell Children’s Medical Center through Children’s Miracle Network

AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Play Yellow, a fundraising program of Children’s Miracle Network (CMN), is excited to be part of the inaugural Austin Championship presented by Compliance Solutions, bringing its mission of supporting children’s healthcare to the course and the local community. Proceeds from the tournament will benefit Play Yellow and provide significant support to the local children’s hospital, Dell Children’s Medical Center, and the surrounding community.

Play Yellow unites the golf community to support children’s healthcare across the U.S. and Canada. Founded through a partnership between Jack and Barbara Nicklaus, Children’s Miracle Network and the PGA Tour, Play Yellow invites golfers, tournaments and fans to turn their passion for the game into life-changing care.

“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,” said Becca Evans, National Director of Play Yellow, Children’s Miracle Network. “We’re grateful for every golfer, fan, and partner who helps make big change for all kids.”

Delta Air Lines Sponsors Play Yellow Sunday

Delta Air Lines is sponsoring Play Yellow Sunday. By wearing yellow and fundraising through golf, the Play Yellow community elevates the level of care at local children’s hospitals.

Ten patient families will join Children’s Miracle Network on the course, wearing caddie bibs featuring the Delta Air Lines logo. Some children will have the opportunity to walk a hole alongside a PGA Tour professional, while others will join the action by helping as honorary caddies on the 18th green. Among the participating children is Jett Payne, the local Children’s Miracle Network champion.

After a difficult delivery, Jett began experiencing seizures and was transferred to Dell Children’s Medical Center, where an MRI revealed multiple strokes that likely occurred before or during birth. He spent 12 days in the Neuro-NICU, where specialized care helped stabilize his seizures and support his recovery. Today, Jett is a thriving 2-year-old who is walking, talking, and exceeding milestones. He will be joined by his parents, Ryann and Brad Payne, and his brother, Briggs, age 9.

Supporting Dell Children’s Medical Center

Dell Children’s, a hospital within Children’s Miracle Network, has partnered with CMN for nearly 40 years. Since opening in 2007, Dell Children’s Medical Center has served as Central Texas’s only freestanding pediatric Level I trauma center, bringing world-class children’s healthcare to families in their own community. From pediatric heart and bone marrow transplants to expanding access to pediatric mental health care, Dell Children’s continues to advance what’s possible for children across Central Texas.

“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,” said Megan Campuzano, Senior Director, Annual Giving, Dell Children’s Medical Center. “The generosity of our community supports that care, allowing us to expand what we can do for children across Central Texas. We are grateful to Play Yellow, Children’s Miracle Network, the PGA Tour, and every supporter making this event a reality. It is meaningful to see our patient families recognized on such a special stage and to have our community unite behind a brighter future for all kids.”

Play Yellow Ambassadors Lead the Way

Helping bring the CMN mission to life on the course, Play Yellow’s ambassadors Patrick Fishburn, Hank Lebioda, Justin Lower, Kevin Roy, Max McGreevy, Peter Malnati, and Neal Shipley will also take the course in Austin, continuing to use their platforms to rally golfers, fans, sponsors, and communities around the shared mission of supporting children’s healthcare.
