It will be a fun-filled afternoon packed with plenty of activities for everyone. There will be a Bounce House Obstacle Course, a volleyball game in the gym, and field mania activities such as a water balloon toss, egg toss, tug-of-war, and other challenging relay races!

The goal of the "Let's Just Play Campaign" is to teach youth the importance of balancing indoor and outdoor fun while promoting healthier lifestyle choices. "It is essential in today's age for children to be involved in more outdoor activities," said Heidi Levesque, Area Director for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Garden Grove, "because of the increasing trends of obesity, popularity of video games, and spending idle hours on the internet."

Nickelodeon and the Boys & Girls Clubs expanded partnership provides a Positive Place For Kids that will encourage thousands of children worldwide to be involved in healthy and active play. BGCGG invites the children of the community to be involved in the Worldwide Day of Play at Main Branch located at 9860 Larson St in Garden Grove on Friday, September 26. For more information please contact Heidi Levesque at (714) 537-1465. Get up, get out, and go play!

ABOUT NICKELODEON
Nickelodeon is currently in its fourth year of its award-winning pro- social initiative, "Let's Just Play." In November 2005, "Let's Just Play" entered into a partnership with The Alliance for a Healthier Generation to combat the spread of childhood obesity. The three organizations combined forces on a comprehensive media and public awareness campaign, encouraging young people to engage in healthy and active lifestyles. Nickelodeon is using its multimedia platforms and the "Let's Just Play" campaign, working with the Boys and Girls Clubs of America and other partners, to reach millions of young people across the country and spread the message of the Healthier Generation movement.

Nickelodeon has committed more than $30 million and 10% of its air to health and wellness messaging. Over the past 2 years, Nickelodeon has also awarded approximately $2 million in grants and through its "Let's Just Play Giveaway" to schools and after-school programs to help provide resources that will create and expand opportunities for physical play.
