The two investment management brands that sponsor the annual Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race have donated the opportunity to Cancer Research UK. The event, on Sunday 27 March, will now be known as the Cancer Research UK Boat Races - the women’s race and the men’s race having been held on the same day last year. Newton Investment Management, the women’s race sponsor, and its parent company BNY Mellon, the men’s race sponsor, will be running their own fundraising initiatives to aid the cancer charity.
