DKMS rings the closing bell at NASDAQ

Mario Cantone and Katharina Harf preside over the closing bell

DKMS had a late opening the day after the gala and much to our surprise and invitation to ring the closing bell for the NASDAQ on Friday May 9th, 2008!

We were so excited to be invited and even more so once we got there and saw this

Somehow that made it seem so official!

Once we got there we all made sure to take pictures(which you can find on Flickr) and really take in how important this event was. Not only did we receive the honor of ringing the closing bell, we got to do so with Mario Cantone who hosted our event. Both he and Katharina Harf, Executive Vice President of DKMS Americas gave a call to action speech about the need for marrow donors which was projected on the NASDAQ screen in Times Square.

Last week was by far the most eventful week we have had yet and I can only assume that things will just continue to go up from here.
