Whitney Port Pictures: Whitney Port arrives on the red carpet at the 4th annual DKMS Linked Against Leukemia Gala held at Cipriani 42nd Street on April 29, 2010 in New York City.
Oscar-winning actress and Coty partner, Halle Berry and Coty CEO and the Gala's Honorary Chair, Bernd Beetz presented Island Def Jam Chairman, Antonio "LA" Reid with the "DKMS Linked Against Leukemia Award," in recognition of his tireless work in fighting cancer and supporting organizations and charities which do the same. Reid follows in the footsteps of past DKMS honorees, Joe Uva, CEO of Univision Communications Inc., Cindy Crawford, who lost her brother to leukemia, and Manny Chirico, CEO of Phillips-Van Heusen, a lymphoma survivor himself.
"I am extremely honored to receive the prestigious DKMS Linked Against Leukemia Award," Reid. "Leukemia affects thousands of people every year and kills more children in the U.S. than any other disease. Many patients could be saved by a bone marrow transplant, but there simply aren't enough donors to save everyone. I encourage everyone to sign up to save a life."
