It's a morning months in the making.

On Friday, November 8, 2019, Newswatch 16's Ryan Leckey and the Team Allied Services charity team gathered for a big celebration.

The team revealed the final total raised during this year's campaign around 6:40 on Friday morning.

Thanks to your help, WNEP’s Team Allied Services 10 raised $611,527.05 during this year’s charity campaign.

The finale took place at MotorWorld Toyota near Wilkes-Barre, one of the campaign's corporate sponsors.

WNEP's Team Allied Services benefits kids and adults with disabilities. Allied Services is one of our area's largest nonprofits with a mission of “providing miracles in rehab.”

The campaign is spearheaded by Newswatch 16's Ryan Leckey. The run portion of Team Allied Services surrounds the TCS New York City Marathon, which took place on Sunday, November 3, 2019.

On Friday, Ryan showed a recap of this year's campaign from start to finish, including a few marathon highlights.

Ryan also highlighted how area schools helped raise a combined $20,000 for the cause. Moscow Elementary Center in Lackawanna County raised the most money for Team Allied Services this year. The kindergartners through third-graders in the North Pocono School District raised $10,000. They held an event that involved the students running laps around their school. For each lap completed, families and friends of the students donated money.
