This week, Sharpie® and Paper Mate® visited the Boys and Girls Club of Benton County, AR for some seasonal fun using our Sharpie Creative Markers and Paper Mate InkJoy Gel Bright! Pens! Clubgoers used the markers and pens to complete activity sheets, decorate pumpkins and design Contigo® water bottles. The event was part of the brands’ recently-announced, $1 million three-year partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA), which includes multiple local club engagements and support towards BGCA’s arts programming. Boys & Girls Clubs of Benton County was also a 2024 grant recipient through our Local Impact Grant Program in which employees in select Newell Brands locations nominate and vote on nonprofits aligned with our focus areas to receive a grant from the Newell Brands Charitable Foundation. Thank you to Boys & Girls Clubs of Benton County for having us!

#NewProductAlert! Calphalon® recently introduced their new Premier Ceramic Nonstick Cookware, designed to inspire healthier cooking and shorten consumers’ cleanup time. Its olive oil-infused ceramic coating allows home chefs to cook without adding oil or butter to the pan without fear of food sticking to its interior. Messes wipe clean in seconds with quick cleaning technology, and the collection’s hard-anodized ceramic-coated aluminum construction delivers fast, even heating while eliminating hotspots for precision searing, sautéing, and browning. The cookware is also oven-safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit and metal utensil-safe. Congratulations to our Kitchen team on this exciting launch!
