Amgen Korea's Blue Wish campaign was first launched last year to fulfill the wishes of children aged 3 to 18 who are suffering from physical and emotional challenges due to intractable diseases.

So far this year, a total of 54 Amgen Korea employees have participated in the volunteer campaign to help children with incurable diseases overcome their struggles and realize Amgen's mission of to serve patients.

The 27 Amgen Korea employees who volunteered for this year's campaign met four children, spending about seven months communicating with them online and offline to discover their wishes, starting in April. They also delivered a message of hope by organizing a Wish Day with the patients to fulfill their final wishes.

The Wish Day was a special time that reflected the interests and wishes of the four children.

A child residing a considerable distance from school received an electric bicycle, enabling her to commute independently and fostering a healthier school life to pursue her dreams.

In response to a child's desire to play games with others, volunteers arranged a Wish Day Game Competition, bringing joy and shared enjoyment to the occasion.

For a patient who loves football, the team presented him with a laptop and a soccer ball so that he could enjoy football games and matches with his family.

"We hope that this campaign was able to bring happiness and hope to the daily lives of the patients and their families who participated," said Noh Sang-kyung, general manager of Amgen Korea.

"Amgen Korea will continue to fulfill its social responsibility to the community based on its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategy and strive to fulfill Amgen's mission, 'to serve patients'."
