The BUSH-WIKSE ACE OUTREACH PROGRAM was launched in 2016, at the Bush Tennis Center in Midland, Texas, to Advise, Counsel, and Encourage (ACE) area youth by connecting positive role models with elementary-aged children through the sport of tennis. Thanks to our many partnerships, both local and abroad, ACE has provided free in-school programs to over 40,000 elementary-aged children throughout the Permian Basin and free or discounted after-school and summer programs supported by the Bush Tennis Center. In addition to learning the sport of tennis, ACE promotes the core values of sportsmanship, integrity, self-confidence and hard work.

In 2024, ACE will continue to expand throughout Texas with new partnerships. The 2024-2025 Bush-Wikse ACE Outreach Program goal is to reach over 200,000 Texas children.
