American Equity was proud to take part in sponsoring Iowa Asian Alliance's CelebrAsian as part of our celebration of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.

We had a great time welcoming everyone into the festival as they made their way to enjoy food, dancing, and art from Asian communities around Iowa. Now that we are located at our new downtown headquarters, American Equity team members had a front row seat to this year’s festivities getting to enjoy sights, sounds, and tastes throughout the day on Friday.

Today, we remember and honor those who served and sacrificed for our country. We are grateful for their courage and commitment, and for the freedom their service has helped protect.

We proudly sponsored the Coaches vs. Cancer Iowa Suits & Sneakers Gala this past weekend.

The evening brought together the state of Iowa’s four Division I basketball coaches for inspiring conversation and an even more inspiring cause. Thanks to the generosity of everyone in the room, the event has raised more than $700,000 to support the fight against cancer. It was an honor to participate in such a meaningful event and be involved in an incredible community making a difference in the lives of others.
