Pilot Pen Enhances Creativity And Erases Negativity During 2017 Teen Choice Awards

As celebrity role models come together for the 2017 Teen Choice Awards, Pilot Pen is celebrating these creative and fearless figures, along with the power of their words and the writing instruments they use to express them, to inspire youth nationwide. More influential than ever, today's entertainment and sports icons have the power to inspire the next generation to be original and bold by enhancing creativity and erasing negativity.

To help teens that may be struggling, Pilot Pen is encouraging parents, students and celebrities to help erase bullying – something many have faced – through their 'Erase Bullying for Good' campaign. Developed in partnership with STOMP Out Bullying™, the leading bullying prevention organization in the U.S., the campaign aims to raise awareness and develop programs to combat bullying behaviors in schools across the country. Thanks to sales of FriXion Clicker – the number 1 selling erasable pen in the US that helps students enjoy mistake-free writing – Pilot Pen will have donated $350,000 to the campaign between 2015 and 2018. To date, STOMP Out Bullying™ has helped over 5 million kids and teens address their bullying issues, and has saved more than 5,300 lives through their HelpChat support hotline.

"There is so much power in written and spoken words and  so many of the Teen Choice Award Nominees we're celebrating have used their words and deeds to empower and inspire their young fans," said Ariann Langsam, director of marketing for Pilot Pen. "Through our partnership with the GBK Pre-Teen Choice Awards Lounge, we're excited to be able to celebrate teens' favorite celebrity icons, and highlight the creative power of positivity through our incredible line of FriXion erasable pens."
