Employee Volunteering

We are delighted to support our employees' interest in engaging with their communities through the gift of their time and talents. We know their efforts make a difference. To this end, we have several programs in place to support their work:

• We support our employees' individual efforts to volunteer for causes that are meaningful to them by matching both their financial contributions as well as their volunteer time. If you represent a non-profit organization that uses SanDisk employee volunteers, talk to them about leveraging their volunteer time and donor dollars.
• Through our Signature Partnerships, SanDisk employees volunteer individually and mobilize in teams to support of charitable causes that are especially important to SanDisk.
• A variety of SanDisk teams engage in team-based volunteering activities that help drive the success of specific events and build a long-term relationship with non-profit organizations.
• Disaster relief and humanitarian aid programs provide immediate help in a time of crisis. SanDisk employee expertise and financial resources, combined with corporate financial and product donations, have focused powerful forces in the aftermath of the tsunami in Southeast Asia, Hurricane Katrina, the China earthquake, and most recently, the earthquake in Haiti and the earthquakes and tsunamis in Japan.

Here are a few of the many and varied volunteer endeavors of SanDisk and our dedicated employees:

United States

Leukemia and Lymphoma Society: SanDisk and its employees have for many years supported the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's "Light the Night" fundraising initiative. Our employees participate in the fundraising walk, while the company matches employee donations and creates on-site programs to stimulate employee awareness, interest and support. The society is the world's largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research, education and patient services.

Annual Second Harvest Drive: SanDisk sponsors the Second Harvest Food Bank's yearly efforts to provide meals to families in need through direct funding, by encouraging employees to donate food, and by supporting employees volunteer efforts to help pack and load food for distribution. SanDisk and SanDisk employees have provided more than 18,000 pounds of food and $1.6 million that have served 3.3 million meals to needy local families through our annual On-Site Sort and Share Your Lunch onsite campaigns.

Blood Drives: SanDisk organizes on-site blood drives at least three times each year at its Silicon Valley headquarters and other worldwide sites to increase emergency backup blood supplies and to build awareness of blood shortages.

China

"Better life, Better Community": Reflecting the theme of the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, SanDisk China employees joined hands with two neighboring companies to plant 20 trees in ZiZhu Industry Park

"We Donate, We Buy": SanDisk Shanghai employees donated household items to raise funds for a Shanghai community tree-planting project. Nearly 350 items were collected from employees, and the vast majority of donated goods have found new owners. We've hosted similar events at SanDisk Taiwan, which raised needed funds for the Taiwan Foundation of Children and Families.

"We Love, We Give" Program: More than 600 SanDisk employees teamed up for a week-long program that generated funding for books, stationery and toys to support disadvantaged children's educational opportunities in the local community. The funds, along with purchased or donated items, were then distributed by SanDisk employee volunteers to the children on behalf of the organization.

Israel

"Tu Bishvat" tree planting in Israel: SanDisk Israel employees commemorate "Tu Bishvat" -- a Jewish holiday celebrating the planting of new trees -- by planting trees with volunteers from the community.

Amcha Center: The SanDisk Omer team celebrated with Holocaust survivors at the Amcha Center in Beer-Sheva, and hosted a Chess tournament between Omer employees and Amcha Center members. Kfar Saba employees packed holiday food baskets and Omer employees distributed baskets to Amcha Center Holocaust survivors' homes.

Passover Families in Need Drive: Employees gathered and donated 40 boxes of toys, equipment and clothing designated for needy families in a local community.
