Former Pros Come Out for Madisen’s Match Charity in Fort Myers

The 8th Annual Madisen’s Match charity exhibition event will be held on Saturday, March 19, 2016 at The Landing’s Yacht, Golf, and Tennis Club in Fort Myers, Fla.

The event will feature legendary coach Nick Bollettieri and former ATP and WTA players Jimmy Arias, Lisa Raymond, Luke Jensen, Mikael Pernfors, former doubles No. 1 Don Johnson, Kathy Rinaldi, and former U.S. Davis Cup captain and player Tom Gullikson.

“We are hoping to raise $100,000 for brain tumor-related charities,” says Mark Macler, president of Skyland Events LLC. “This is a fantastic event for the community in a beautiful stadium court setting that people will really enjoy.”

The event benefits the Lee Memorial Health System’s Regional Cancer Center, and Barbara’s Friends-Golisano Children’s Hospital Cancer Fund.

Madisen Abramson has become an ambassador for brain tumor survivors both young and old. Madisen’s Match was developed so that others can live better lives and one day we can find a cure for brain tumors. To date Madisen’s Match has raised more than $350,000 to benefit national and Southwest Florida-based pediatric and adult cancer treatment charities.
