Equinox and Whitney Young Health are thrilled to announce our annual, combined signature fundraising event.

As our affiliation continues, we celebrate the third year of this collaborative event, ThanksGathering: A Legacy Celebration, Building a Lasting Legacy Together. Coming together with one event expresses the strength of the affiliation of these two lead providers in health care and human services, providing confidence that this mutual endeavor will afford better access to integrated services with healthier outcomes for our patients and clients, while preserving each organization’s history and legacy of service.

Our celebration will be held on Thursday, October 9, 2025, from 5:30-8:30 pm at the New York State Museum in Albany, NY. This venue is the perfect backdrop for live music, delicious food, and libations courtesy of 2Shea Catering. The festive evening will feature our Legacy Awards presentation honoring leaders who are making a difference in the Capital Region. The evening will be topped off with our silent auction; complimentary wine, spirits, and craft beer tastings; chances to win at our gift-card pull; and fun commemorative photos from our Smile Lounge.

Proceeds from the event will be shared between Equinox and Whitney Young Health to help our patients and clients—who have limited resources and are at higher risk of co-morbidities, homelessness, and food insecurities—lead healthier, more productive lives.
