LLS Honors Rob Mannino for Supporting the 2023 Dare to Dream Project

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) recently expressed its sincere gratitude to Rob Mannino, Chief Operating Officer of The Kulka Group, for his outstanding fundraising efforts in support of the Dare to Dream Project—a bold LLS initiative aimed at transforming treatment and care for children with blood cancer.

As a survivor of blood cancer himself, Rob has become a passionate advocate for patients and families facing similar battles. In 2023, he took that advocacy to a new level, channeling his energy into raising significant funds for the Dare to Dream Project, which focuses on accelerating pediatric cancer research, improving support services, and changing the way young patients experience treatment.

Rob’s efforts were recognized not only through his individual fundraising accomplishments—he was named the #1 Individual Fundraiser at the 2023 Long Island Light the Night—but also through a special acknowledgment from LLS for his contributions to Dare to Dream. His leadership helped drive awareness and support for this critical program, ensuring that more children have access to safer, more effective therapies and personalized care.

The Dare to Dream Project reflects LLS’s long-standing commitment to advancing cures and improving quality of life for blood cancer patients of all ages. With Rob’s help, the organization is one step closer to achieving its vision: a world where every child diagnosed with blood cancer not only survives, but thrives.

We are proud to stand beside Rob in this mission. His personal story, leadership, and generosity continue to inspire all of us at The Kulka Group and beyond. The recognition from LLS is well-deserved—and a reminder of the impact one person can have when they turn their experience into action.
