<strong>Astellas</strong> – FY16 Corporate Social Responsibility Report<br />
Camp Trillum<br />
<strong>Astellas</strong> Employees Pitch In To Make<br />
a Difference at Camp Trillium<br />
On September 7th, 70 <strong>Astellas</strong> Pharma<br />
Canada employees spent Changing<br />
Tomorrow Day 2016 at Camp Trillium<br />
Rainbow Lake in Waterford, Ontario, to<br />
help prepare the camp for the winter<br />
months. Despite the record breaking<br />
heat, spirits were high and everyone<br />
tackled their projects with enthusiasm<br />
and camaraderie, from clearing brush<br />
and painting fences and campfire<br />
benches, to cleaning and organizing the<br />
daycare and sewing curtains for cabins.<br />
Employees also worked on several<br />
projects to support the launch of Camp<br />
Trillum's CampOut for Cancer campaign,<br />
which will enable people across<br />
Ontario to help send families living with<br />
childhood cancer to Camp.<br />
This year's day of service at Camp Trillium was the first Changing Tomorrow Day experience For Dipti<br />
Tankala, Associate Medical Information Manager. "Camp Trillium truly is a camp like no other. I feel<br />
honored to have had the chance to volunteer at a place that gives joy and creates happy memories for<br />
children and their families to cherish forever, " said Dipti.<br />
The day began on a high note and ended the same way, with the announcement that APCA will be<br />
sponsoring the CampOut for Cancer campaign with a donation of $25,000. Tired but happy to have had<br />
the opportunity to give back, and proud of all they had accomplished, the general sentiment felt by all<br />
was summed up by Brendan Lounsbery, Corporate Counsel.<br />
The projects accomplished by APCA employees on CT Day 2016 were recognized<br />

Cancer. Please pass on our appreciation to all.”
