The mission statement of The MAC Foundation is to create opportunities for children and young adults to be influenced through sports, the arts and extra curricular activities—keeping their minds and bodies focused on positive alternatives to the temptations of life. In addition, we would like to implement a free counseling service to empower them to cope with tragic events including but not limited to, death, divorce and child abandonment.
