According to the North Okanagan Optimist Club, the purposes of Plug and Play are many. It's a community event that encourages families and neighbors to leave their homes and enjoy each other's company as well as the community in which they live; but it will also expose them to many "get active" opportunities, luring them away from the couch and away from their computer and television screens. With that message, the Optimist Club is speaking to wellness initiatives and facing the childhood obesity epidemic head-on.
Local businesses are involved as well as government and community organizations.
Chartered in September 2011, the North Okanagan Optimist Club states that their mission is to raise money so that they can support children and teens in their community in a different way. The Province of British Columbia thinks they are doing just that so they gave the Optimist Club's effort $5,000 to advance the idea of Unplug and Play.
