The Mack Collective (TMC) is an independent organization established to support the Augustinian Catholic mission in the Merrimack Valley, located approximately 25 miles North of Boston, Massachusetts. Founded in 1947 by the Augustinian Catholic order of Villanova University, Merrimack College represents the most visible and active chartable organization located in the Merrimack Valley of Massachusetts. With a stated mission “to enlighten minds, engage hearts and empower lives” Merrimack College has more than 30,000 alumni and approximately 4,500 undergraduates currently enrolled. The founding members of The Mack Collective recognize that one of the most effective means of promoting the Augustinian mission and values is through financial support of Merrimack College’s division one athletic programs. TMC raises funds to support select athletes who represent our mission and values as well as the Augustinian and Merrimack College values and mission. TMC accomplishes this by sponsoring athletes through Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) sponsorship agreements to promote Augustinian values, TMC and Merrimack College.
