NEW YORK, N.Y. AND CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – BNY Mellon, a global leader in investment management and investment services, is the Presenting Sponsor and an active participant of the Head Of The Charles Regatta® for the fifth consecutive year. In addition to providing sponsorship support, BNY Mellon will once again present the BNY Mellon Championship Cup to the top men’s and women’s Championship Eights overall winners at the conclusion of the iconic two-day event, which takes place on Saturday, October 21 and Sunday, October 22 along the Charles River from Boston to Brighton.

“Our team eagerly looks forward to the Regatta every year,” said Mitchell Harris, CEO of BNY Mellon Investment Management. “At BNY Mellon we strongly identify with the teamwork, drive and excellence that goes into delivering a world class performance during the races. Many of our employees and clients are rowing fans and this sponsorship is a way for us to be part of an iconic event that celebrates the international rowing community, the supporters that visit Boston, and honors the deep tradition of the Regatta.”

This year, BNY Mellon is entering two crews to join in the spirit of the Regatta: a Men’s Masters Four – for the third year in a row – in which both U.S. and international employees will be competing, and a Mixed Eight that will compete for the Director’s Challenge – an event that benefits the permanent endowment of the HOCR.

“Over its 57-year history, The Head Of The Charles Regatta has become one of the most revered events in the rowing community and we are proud to not only partner with, but also participate in this prestigious event,” said BNY Mellon Wealth Management CEO Don Heberle. “We continue to be inspired by the rowers from BNY Mellon and around the globe who compete in the event.”

The Regatta will bring more than 700 clubs and universities, more than 11,000 athletes and nearly 350,000 spectators from around the world to the banks of the Charles River.

Frederick V. Schoch, Executive Director of the Regatta, said, “BNY Mellon is an esteemed member of the Head Of The Charles family and a champion of the sport of rowing globally. BNY Mellon’s sponsorship of the race weekend enhances one of Boston’s great fall traditions and further deepens its footprint in our region. Their support of the Regatta can be felt by the thousands of competitors and spectators taking to the Charles River every October.”
