The Amgen community is deeply saddened by the unprecedented wildfire disasters in Southern California.
Amgen and the Amgen Foundation have committed $10 million in disaster relief for those impacted by the Southern California wildfires. The funds will support affected communities through the California Community Foundation, Direct Relief, and the United Way of Greater Los Angeles. The Amgen Foundation is also matching employee donations toward disaster relief, continuing its commitment to supporting communities during times of need.
“Southern California has been Amgen’s home for more than four decades and we are standing tall to support our community through this difficult time,” said Robert A. Bradway, chairman and chief executive officer at Amgen.
Amgen was established in Thousand Oaks, California, more than 40 years ago, and the heart of our company has been here since the beginning. Many Amgen employees live in and around the impacted areas and we are committed to ensuring their safety and wellbeing, with all impacted staff confirmed safe and resources mobilized for those who need them.
Our Amgen headquarters has not been directly affected by the fires and remains operational. Amgen’s ability to serve patients has not been impacted.
