About Us
OUR MISSION
Marbella on a Mission exists to unite the tennis community in the fight against cancer—rallying players, families, and supporters to honor, remember, and make a lasting impact.
Founded in 2023 by Amy Staley in honor of her mother-in-law, Linda Staley, Marbella on a Mission raises vital funds for both local and national cancer care through high-energy tennis events that celebrate life, strength, and community.
Each year, Marbella on a Mission shines a spotlight on one or two champion(s) off the court—organizations making a powerful difference in the lives of those impacted by cancer.
In 2025, we proudly support the American Cancer Society and MemorialCare Saddleback Medical Foundation’s Cancer Care Program.
Our mission is to transform passion for the game into purpose—through connection, competition, and heartfelt dedication. Every match we play and every ribbon we tie brings us closer to hope, healing, and a cure.
