Lockton, the world's largest independent insurance brokerage, is proud to sponsor the 2026 Head Of The Charles® Regatta. For more than half a century, the largest regatta in the world has brought together thousands of rowers and hundreds of thousands of spectators to the banks of the Charles River. Showcasing the city’s rich history and vibrant culture, the Regatta has become a cherished Boston institution built on teamwork and community.
At the heart of the event's success are the more than 2,200 volunteers whose dedication makes the Regatta possible, giving their time and talent to create an exceptional experience for competitors and visitors alike.
This year, Lockton is recognizing that effort by becoming the first-ever sponsor of the volunteer lounge. This is a dedicated space where volunteers can recharge and connect with one another throughout the weekend.
“As we celebrate one of Boston's most beloved traditions, we want to thank the people who make it happen,” said Michael Walsh, New England Market Leader at Lockton. “These volunteers spend the weekend helping others succeed, and that is exactly what we do for our clients every day. Sponsoring their lounge is our absolute privilege.”
Just as the Head Of The Charles® depends on its volunteers to deliver a world-class event, Lockton depends on its 15,000 Associates to provide innovative risk management, insurance, and people solutions to clients across the globe.
The Head Of The Charles® Regatta and Lockton share a commitment to teamwork and community and a passion for proving what's possible when people row towards a common goal.
