2019 DKMS Big Love Gala

The 2019 DKMS Big Love Gala, chaired by Katharina Harf, honored BOB CUSIMANO, Managing Director, Bank of America Merrill Lynch –who is a blood cancer survivor.

Hosted by Television Anchor and Book Author TOM BROKAW with a live auction  hosted by  Sotheby’s Chairman, UK & Ireland, LORD DALMENY, the event featured a live performance by Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter, SEAL.

Here is a clip from last year’s event…

DKMS is an international nonprofit fighting blood cancer and other blood disorders. It all started with one family’s search for a bone marrow donor. Today, DKMS is the world’s largest bone marrow donor center.

So far, DKMS has registered 8.6 million potential donors and facilitated 75,000 transplants. However, thousands of patients are still waiting for their lifesaving match.

DKMS supports patients by registering more donors, raising awareness, and improving therapies and research—all in an effort to provide them with a second chance at life.

100% of the proceeds from the Gala fund the DKMS mission to delete blood cancer once and for all.
