"Great necessities call out great virtues." — Abigail Adams
As the global population faced challenges unlike any in recent memory, people everywhere confronted shared fears about health and economic security. At Equinox, we were fortunate. Our team transitioned to remote work smoothly, thanks to prior preparations and a staff that adapted quickly.
But millions lost employment and income overnight. Rather than relying solely on government response, individuals and companies have the opportunity — and the responsibility — to act.
Equinox immediately committed financial resources to organizations supporting those in need. Our employees personally stepped forward to support families in their own communities.
We are, as I've said many times, a great extended family. That family includes our customers, our partners, our vendors, and the broader communities in which we all live and work.
The challenges ahead are real. But so is the resilience, creativity, and generosity I've witnessed in the people around me. This is a time to step forward — to lend a hand to our neighbors, wherever they may be.
