Fifth Third Surprises New Parents With $1,053 College Savings Gift for Babies Born on Fifth Third Day

 More than 200 babies born on Sunday May 3rd at 53 hospitals across five cities received an unexpected head start toward college, just hours after entering the world.

At hospitals in Chicago, Cincinnati, Detroit, Nashville, and Orlando, Fifth Third (Nasdaq: FITB) welcomed the new “Fifth Third Babies” and their parents with care packages that included a $1,053 gift card for a 529 college savings plan.

Now in its ninth year, Fifth Third Babies is part of a broader national celebration associated with "Fifth Third Day," or 5/3 on the calendar. On Fifth Third Day, Fifth Third employees unite to pack millions of meals and support local hunger relief organizations. The day kicks off a month of volunteering activities across Fifth Third’s national footprint, focused on fighting food insecurity and expanding financial access and inclusion.

“Fifth Third Day is about putting our values into action, and there’s no better place to start than by investing in the next generation,” said Kala Gibson, chief corporate responsibility officer for Fifth Third. “The day a child is born is one of life’s most important moments, and we want to show up for families with meaningful support. A small investment at the beginning can grow into something powerful over time.”

Since 2017, Fifth Third Babies has delivered nearly $965,000 in 529 plan funding to the families of more than 900 babies born on Fifth Third Day across eight states, in partnership with Gift of College, Inc. Families receive care packages from Fifth Third with gift cards and other gifts for the new baby and parents, and labor & delivery care teams at participating hospitals also receive appreciation gifts from Fifth Third.

“A contribution to a 529 plan account will help a child pursue their academic and career dreams and make their unique mark on the world – whatever that may be,” said Patricia Roberts, chief operating officer of the Gift of College and author of “Route 529: A Parent’s Guide to Saving for College and Career Training with 529 Plans.” “As the mom of a recent college graduate, I know first-hand how useful contributions to his 529 account proved to be over time. Opening an account when my son was an infant was one of the very best decisions I made as a new parent.”

Fifty-three hospitals in total across Chicago, Cincinnati, Detroit, Nashville, and Orlando participated in Fifth Third Babies this year. Each family with a baby born on 5/3 received a $1,053 gift card that allows them to open a 529 college savings account. Parents can redeem the gift card into a 529 plan of their choosing.

From 5/3 through 5/29, the public has the opportunity to participate in a social media sweepstakes to win a Fifth Third Babies gift bag, including a $1,053 Gift of College card to be redeemed at GiftofCollege.com into a 529 college savings plan. Winners will be selected on 529 Day, or 5/29 on the calendar. More information and full sweepstakes rules are available online at 53.com/babies.

Keystone Light Apple: Yeah, We're Late to the Party. So We Brought a Better Beer

 

Apple beer isn't new, but making it smooth, crisp, and easy to drink? That's where Keystone Light comes in.

This summer, Keystone Light is jumping into the apple beer game with Keystone Light Apple or "Kapple": a refreshing light beer that gets straight to the good stuff. It has a subtle apple flavor, a clean finish, and keeps things simple – just a solid, crushable beer.And sure, Keystone Light didn't invent apple beer. But if there's one thing America has always been good at, it's taking someone else's idea and making it better.

That spirit comes to life in Keystone Light's new campaign, "The Most American Light Apple Beer in America," created in partnership with Quality Meats. Inspired by America's 250th birthday, the campaign leans into a simple truth: some of the most American things didn't start here — we just made them bigger, louder and a little more over-the-top.

From pizza to football, the campaign's fast-cut, high-energy spots celebrate how things evolve the American way — less subtlety, more spectacle. The same goes for Keystone Light Apple: not the first, just the one worth drinking.

"We totally get that we aren't the first apple beer - guilty," said Chris Steele, Sr. Director of Value Brands. "But we knew we could brew a really great tasting apple beer at a great value that consumers would love. We also knew that when you come second to market, you better have a distinct point of view. So, release the eagle and let's celebrate America's 250th in a crisp and refreshing way."

Rolling out as a social-first campaign, Kapple shows up in a steady stream of memes, cultural moments, and content that doesn't take itself too seriously. It embraces chaos over polish, meeting drinkers where culture actually lives and giving them something worth reacting to.

Kapple is easy to grab and easy to drink, with a bold red, white, and blue can and an eagle front and center that looks like it's about to start a "U-S-A" chant. It shows up like summer should: crisp, cold, and undeniably American.

Hitting shelves in time for Memorial Day, Kapple is built for coolers, cookouts, and showing up with something cold when no one asked you to. It's a limited-time release, available in 15-packs in 12-ounce cans everywhere Keystone Light is sold, including convenience stores.

Find Keystone Light Apple near you at https://www.keystonelight.com/where-to-buy. Because the best summer plans are usually the ones you didn't overthink—and this beer fits right in.

Coors Banquet Invites Fans to Earn Their Spurs Ahead of Highly Anticipated Dutton Ranch Series Premiere on Paramount+ and Paramount Network May 15

 

 To mark the series premiere of Dutton Ranch on May 15 on Paramount+ and Paramount Network, Coors Banquet and Paramount are inviting fans into the world of the show with the "Earn Your Spurs" campaign, bringing together craft, heritage, and a spur designed to open an iced-cold Banquet.

For more than 150 years, Coors Banquet has been shaped by its Western heritage. Now, the beer long associated with hard work and grit is giving fans a chance to earn their place in Dutton Ranch, not just watch it.In cowboy culture, spurs aren't handed out lightly; they're earned over time. With "Earn Your Spurs," Coors Banquet brings that cowboy mindset to fans, giving them the chance to earn their own pair inspired by the spirit of Dutton Ranch.

"In the West, spurs mean something. They represent the grit, time and effort it takes to earn your place," said Alyssa Lynner, Marketing Director, Coors Banquet. "With Dutton Ranch, we saw a natural opportunity to bring that idea to fans in a way that feels true to the brand and the world of the show."

The limited-edition Coors Banquet spurs take a classic symbol of cowboy culture and give it a Banquet twist, launching just in time to celebrate the premiere of Dutton Ranch. Designed in collaboration with a real spur maker, each pair features authentic craftsmanship and a built-in bottle opener that's perfect for cracking a Banquet while watching the show. Made to be worn with boots or sneakers, they carry the spirit of the West into everyday fandom and fashion.

The spurs come on the heels of North American Western boot sales increasing 23% in the last five years¹. Yet, only about one in five Americans actually live in "cowboy country" – highlighting a gap between interest in Western culture and the reality of living it. The spurs give fans a new way to embrace the West and pop open the Dutton's favorite beer while enjoying the show.

"Earn Your Spurs" extends beyond the product, rolling out through daily drops and social storytelling leading into the May 15 premiere of the series on Paramount+ and Paramount Network. Actress Natalie Alyn Lind, who plays Orena in Dutton Ranch, will help bring the experience to life through social content, giving fans a closer look at what it takes to earn your place on the ranch.

Kane County Cougars to play as Swedish Meatballs

 

The Kane County Cougars, an American Association of Professional Baseball team based in Geneva, Illinois, will play three games as the Swedish Meatballs this season. The alternate identity, chosen by a fan vote, is a wink and a nod to the preponderance of Swedish immigrants who landed in the area in the late 1800s, inspiring the town’s name and earning it the nickname “Little Sweden.”Per the team, “By the late 1890s half of Geneva’s citizen’s first language was Swedish. Swedish lodges were formed in the area to preserve Swedish traditions, giving Geneva a lasting connection to Sweden and influencing its culture.”

One aspect of that culture, of course, is Swedish meatballs, a dish characterized by a sauce with allspice, nutmeg, and cinnamon flavors. The logo features an anthropomorphic, one-armed meatball holding a fork over its should and wearing a Viking helmet. The blue and yellow color palette derives from the Swedish flag.The Swedish Meatballs will take the field Saturday, June 13; Friday, July 31; and Thursday, August 20.

FOX Announces "Marriage Market," A High-Stakes Arranged Marriage Experiment, Hosted by Whitney Cummings

 

 FOX flips the script on dating with its bold new series Marriage Market, where real singles ready for marriage relinquish total control of their love lives to their closest family members, who marry them off at a market like no other!

From FOX Entertainment Studios, Marriage Market is an original FOX-owned unscripted series that is slated for FOX's 2026-27 Season. Hosted by actress, comedian, and podcaster Whitney Cummings, the series welcomes singles - who are officially over swiping, ghosting, and endless first dates - into an actual Marriage Market, where they're up for trying something radical... putting their love lives in the hands of family members that know them best and risking it all for one shot at forever - in an arranged marriage.

Filled with humor, heart, heartbreak, and unpredictable outcomes, Marriage Market is a one-of-a-kind, immersive matchmaking experience where families come together with one goal in mind: helping their single family member find a meaningful, lasting match. Inside this vibrant, real-world setting, families meet, connect, and advocate for their loved one as they search for a perfect partner.

The rules are simple. When two families believe they've found a match, their singles are introduced and engaged on the spot - with the ultimate goal of making it to the altar. From there, the couples and their families move in together, navigating real-life compatibility, big personalities, and even bigger expectations. At any point, each of the newly matched singles' families can decide they've found them "the one," or send their single loved one back into the Marriage Market for another chance at finding them love.

"Marriage Market gives all new meaning to shotgun wedding, turning dating on its head with one of the most extreme marketplace spectacles you've ever seen,'" said Michael Thorn, President of FOX Television Network. "Watching families come together to make these matches is deeply relatable and wildly emotional, giving this distinctive concept all the ingredients of a signature FOX unscripted series."

"Marriage Market is a bold new format that reflects our strategy of creating distinctive IP that take the kind of big and culturally relevant risks that viewers love," said Allison Wallach, Head of Unscripted, FOX Entertainment Studios. "We've taken a timeless idea and reimagined it in a modern, high-stakes way with the families in full control and the talented, always funny Whitney Cummings presiding over it all as host."

Purina Cat Chow Brings the Healing Power of Cats to College Campuses Across the Country

 

With nearly half of Americans reporting higher stress levels this year than last and 83% of Gen Z describing an unhealthy relationship with their phone, Purina Cat Chow is bringing back an evidence-based, screen-free solution directly to students who need it most. This May, Cat Chow is launching a three-city college tour of its Therapod: a mobile, phone-free experience offering participants a moment of calm through connection with certified therapy cats from leading animal therapy organization Pet Partners.

Kicking off during finals week in the spring in NYC, the tour continues at the start of a new school year in the fall in Chicago and culminates during midterms week ahead of World Mental Health Day in October in Los Angeles. After debuting in New York in 2025, the Cat Chow Therapod tour in 2026 is timed to support students across the country at some of their most stressful moments.

"Cats can be very sensitive to our emotional states, and their natural social behavior is a great fit for improving our mood," said Dr. Annie Valuska, Purina animal behaviorist. "A cat quietly resting nearby, seeking gentle physical contact or purring can help us slow down and reset. The Therapod brings that special experience directly to students – many of whom are miles from home and the pets they love."

The Mental Health Benefits of Cats
Research shows that just 10 minutes with a cat can measurably reduce cortisol, the hormone associated with stress.3 For college students navigating finals, new semesters, and life away from home, time with a therapy cat can make a meaningful difference. Pet Partners, whose certified cat therapy teams will be on-site at each stop, sees the initiative as a meaningful response to the mental health challenges students face every day.

"College students today are navigating a complex mix of academic demands, social pressures, and the near-constant stimulation of a digital world," said Taylor Chastain Griffin, PhD, National Director of AAI Advancement at Pet Partners and a trained mental health professional. "We're seeing a clear need for support strategies that are both accessible and grounded in evidence-informed practices. The Cat Chow Therapod offers students a brief but meaningful opportunity to step away, regulate their stress response, and engage in a calming interaction with a therapy cat—an experience that can support emotional well-being in a simple, approachable way."

Students can visit the Cat Chow Therapod at the following locations:

• New York City, May 6–7. 10am – 4pm ET by the New York University College of Arts & Science entrance, adjacent to Washington Square Park

Additional Resources for Cat Owners and Animal Therapy Advocates
The Cat Chow Therapod is the centerpiece of the brand's broader Cats as Therapy (CAT) Project, launched in 2025 to promote mental well-being through the healing power of cats. Through the CAT Project, Cat Chow hopes to showcase the mental health benefits of cats and, ultimately, help more people experience them.

Those who can't visit the Cat Chow Therapod in person can explore the therapeutic benefits of feline companionship through HAPPi, a free enrichment program from Purina, at catchow.com/CATproject. HAPPi offers pet owners daily tips and activities that support the human-animal bond and encourage overall wellness.
