Baltic Exchange is delighted to be returning to the water for the 10th OSCAR Dragon Boat Race on 10 September 2026, once again joining the shipping community for a day of teamwork and fundraising in support of Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children (GOSH).

This year marks the Baltic's fifth consecutive entry into the event, with two full teams taking to the water, joined by colleagues from SGX. Following a strong performance in 2025, finishing second overall, the teams are looking forward to another competitive day on the water.

Over the years, the OSCAR Campaign has raised more than £2.5 million, funding pioneering treatments for children with rare and life-threatening immune disorders at GOSH.

Those wishing to support the fundraising efforts can do so via our JustGiving page.

The OSCAR campaign is named after Oscar Parry, son of Spinnaker Chairman Phil Parry. Oscar had two different types of leukaemia, and his life was saved by experimental treatments. He had two bone marrow transplants, the first ever childhood stem cell transplant in the UK, more than 100 blood transfusions, five brain haemorrhages and five years of chemotherapy.

Thanks to the pioneering work of the bone marrow transplant team at GOSH, Oscar is now 27 and the shipping community is saving the lives of other children by supporting more and more new treatments for children with previously incurable diseases.
