A Father’s Strength Amid Disaster

In the aftermath of the Southern California wildfires, Charlie Blanchard, Amgen’s Chief Privacy Officer, draws strength from fatherhood—and from the unwavering support of his workplace and community—as he guides his family forward. That same commitment to care and resilience is echoed in the efforts of Amgen Inc., the Amgen Foundation and Amgen employees who gave more than $10 million to organizations focused on communities devastated by the wildfires earlier this year. Since the early 2000s, the Amgen Foundation has donated over $30 million as part of its global disaster relief programs.
