ViacomCBS Consumer Products has announced to have made agreements with multiple global licensees to create face masks featuring iconic characters from many popular Nickelodeon properties.
The characters featured are SpongeBob SquarePants, which is available now at the SpongeBob Shop, as well as PAW Patrol, Blue’s Clues & You! and JoJo Siwa. These reusable masks are not for medical use and will be available through major retail outlets worldwide later this summer. These face masks will be donated to Save The Children, the world’s leading humanitarian organisation for children.
Said ViacomCBS Consumer Products president Pam Kaufman, “ViacomCBS is proud to support Save the Children and its COVID-19 Global Response by donating 100 per cent of our proceeds from this new face mask initiative. During this unprecedented time, we hope Nickelodeon’s beloved characters and iconic brands will provide solace and ultimately make these new circumstances more manageable.”
Face masks with imagery across the brand portfolio of popular ViacomCBS properties including the Star Trek franchise and programmes across MTV and CBS are available on their websites including MTVShop/ WildnOutShop, CBSStore and StarTrekShop. Proceeds from these ViacomCBS properties will go to charities that align with each brand.
