DKMS Thanks All Those who Came Out in Support

Long Island Community Answers the Call

DKMS would like to thank the more than 2,600 individuals who attended the Life-Saving Bone Marrow Drive to help save patients stricken with leukemia, like six-year-old Julianna Buttner. The drive organized in her honor was a huge success.

While DKMS does not make the $65 registration cost mandatory, we do need your help to finance the fee as we do not receive Government funding. The registration of the more than 2,600 will cost DKMS $200,000. EVERY DOLLAR COUNTS! Please $donate$ today.

"The kindness of strangers was overwhelming and we are so grateful to all who support our life-saving work." - Katharina Harf, Co-founder and Executive Vice President, DKMS Americas.

"This is pretty impressive to say the least and we are deeply touched that Long Island and beyond pulled together for our family," Buttner said after the event. "This huge turnout and support is so unexpected. We are really excited and feel very hopeful that we will find a match."
