Year 11 of campaign kicks off at Mohegan Sun Pocono

REPOSTED FROM WNEP.COM

While the pandemic may have put the brakes on many community happenings, WNEP’s Team Allied Services is still on a mission this fall to continue to change lives across northeastern and central Pennsylvania.

This marks year 11 for WNEP’s Team Allied Services. The charity campaign is spearheaded by Newswatch 16’s Ryan Leckey.

Ryan kicked off RR11 at Mohegan Sun Pocono near Wilkes-Barre. The casino in Luzerne County is one of the campaign's corporate sponsors.

Team Allied Services raises money to help Allied Services purchase cutting-edge rehabilitation technology. The funds and equipment help improve the lives of kids and adults with disabilities. Allied Services is one of our area’s largest nonprofits with a mission of “providing miracles in rehab.”

All of the money raised through Team Allied Services stays in northeastern and central Pennsylvania.

While this would normally involve Ryan Leckey and 50 other area runners from our charity team running in the TCS New York City Marathon in November, due to COVID-19, the big race in the Big Apple was cancelled for 2020. Our team's reaction here.

NEW THIS YEAR - YOU CAN BE ON OUR CHARITY TEAM!

How to show your support & donate: 

This year, because of the pandemic and because the NYC marathon was cancelled, everyone has a chance to be a part of our team.

By donating $30 at this link, you’ll be able to support the cause, receive this year’s newest Team Allied Services workout shirt, and a Team Allied Services Racing Bib. After donating online, click here to enter your shirt size info.

Now through November, you have a chance to do your own marathon just like our Team Allied Services teammates.  You can walk, bike or run any distance you choose through the fall to total the miles of a marathon, 26.2 miles. 

SHARE YOUR TEAM ALLIED SERVICES PHOTOS - #TeamAlliedServices

When you receive your new Team Allied Services racing bib with your workout shirt, donors are asked to keep track of their own “marathon miles” and share pre and post activity pictures to social media using “#TeamAlliedServices.” 

Newswatch 16 and Allied Services hope to share as many of your images as possible throughout the duration of the campaign.
