<strong>Astellas</strong> – FY16 Corporate Social Responsibility Report<br />
“This event really demonstrated to me that anything is possible<br />
after donating an organ or receiving a transplant. A big thank<br />
you to the Games organizers and <strong>Astellas</strong> for providing us with<br />
the opportunity to volunteer!”<br />

APCA Volunteers Inspired by Athletes<br />
at Canadian Transplant Games<br />
<strong>Astellas</strong> Pharma Canada employees were excited<br />
to volunteer at the Canadian Transplant Games<br />
that took place in Toronto through the week of<br />
August 8th, 2016.<br />
The week of activities began with <strong>Astellas</strong><br />
volunteers greeting athletes as they arrived at<br />
Union Station, helping them with their luggage<br />
and escorting them to waiting shuttles. "It was<br />
great meeting all the athletes before they left to<br />
register for the Games," said Paul Richter, Executive<br />
Product Specialist.<br />
On Tuesday, the <strong>Astellas</strong> team assisted with the 5<br />
km Cycling Race at Sunnybrook Park – counting<br />
down start times, setting up and manning<br />
signposts along the route, cheering the athletes<br />
on and helping with the medal ceremony. They<br />
also had the opportunity to work side-by-side<br />
with Eileen Zhang, a living donor cycling across<br />
Canada to raise awareness for organ donation. "It<br />
was an inspiring, emotional and very special day<br />
that taught me some life lessons," said Hardip<br />
