Ace CARE is hosting our largest fundraiser, the Ace Race 5K, on October 26, 2024. We are asking for support from students and faculty so that we may continue to provide care to our most vulnerable neighbors. We welcome you to join us for the race to support our organization.

The mission of Ace CARE is to connect the unmet health care needs of the Tri-State community with the educational experience of our Doctor of Physical Therapy, Physician Assistant, and Athletic Training students. We do this by providing free physical therapy care and group exercise programs to the uninsured, underinsured, homeless, and vulnerable members of our community to improve the quality of life in our surrounding area.

Last year, our students volunteered over 3,500 hours of their time, and we were able to treat over 127 participants. Ace CARE operates solely on community philanthropy, and we work tirelessly to keep our doors open to those we serve.

The University of Evansville's (UE) Lincoln Commons student housing apartment complex will soon welcome its first retail tenant, Qdoba, which is set to officially open on October 28. Orange Leaf is scheduled to open days later on November 1.

Located at the corner of Weinbach and Lincoln Avenues, Lincoln Commons is a four-story building offering modern living accommodations for approximately 123 junior and senior students. It opened its doors to students in August at the start of the Fall 2024 semester.

UE officials previously announced that both Qdoba, a fast-casual Mexican restaurant, and Orange Leaf, a self-serve frozen yogurt chain, would be the first tenants to occupy the 3,500 square feet of retail space on the lower level.

Qdoba will open its third location on the UE campus, adding to its existing spots on the East and West sides of the city. Meanwhile, Orange Leaf is expanding with a second location, complementing its current site on the East Side. The restaurant openings are expected to create approximately 30 new jobs, further strengthening the local economy.
