Nick's Day of Play
Monday, September 21, 2009
Encourage your kids to get out and play with Nickelodeon's sixth annual Worldwide Day of Play on Saturday September 26th, during which its TV channels and websites will go off air/offline around the world between 12-3p to encourage kids to get up, get out and get active in their communities.
This year six countries and every state in the US will participate in 1,000+ local events. Nickelodeon will continue to offer health and wellness messaging throughout the day when the network returns at 3p, featuring network celebrities. Nickelodeon is again partnering with Big Brothers Big Sisters of NYC for its NYC RBC Race for the Kids, where a range of celebrities will appear including Nick Cannon, Sean Kingston, Yo Gabba Gabba!'s DJ Lance Rock, Melinda Shankar and Sam Earle (Degrassi: The Next Generation and Lil' JJ), and Tiki Barber.
Other partners hosting events around the country include: 600 local Boys & Girls Clubs of America events; The NFL's NFLRush.com will also go dark with at least six teams hosting WWDOP events; The US Forest Service and The National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF) each join as partners for WWDP with events nationwide in conjunction with National Public Lands Day.
I know my kid will be dissapointed, but hey, it will be a gorgeous day, a great excuse for some family time under the sun!
