SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY- They held an office party Tuesday night in Scranton.

Mary Ann Laporta of the Children's Advocacy Center was overjoyed
"We're cheering on, if we lose we might get ten thousand dollars, if we win we'll get a lot more."

And on national TV. Cast members of the hit NBC show, "The Office"...Creed, Oscar, Kate, Phyllis and Brian went head to head against celebrities from American Gladiator and Camden County.
All for a chance to win 50-thousand dollars for the Advocacy Center of Northeastern, Pa.

Michelle Dempsey, the "Office" Convention Co-Chair "They actually contacted us and asked for local charities that they would be able to play for tonight."

The charity was hand picked by producers of the show, which, of course, is based in Scranton.
Gina Svobada is an "Office Fan", "I was driving down the expressway and i saw a car stopped and people standing in front of the welcome to Scranton sign, we've got national fame."
And the cast strong armed the American Gladiators then beat the cast from "Camden County" in the finals.
In the process, keeping the national spotlight on Scranton and a facility dedicated to helping sexually abused children.
Laporta told us"The opportunity to educate the community, the awareness we are raising is critically important."
Needing just three points to secure the 50-thousand dollars, Oscar's final answer put them over the top and sent the crowd roaring.
All while giving back to a community it represents and an organization that needs help for their kids.
The party was held at Whistles Pub in Scranton which donated food for everyone who came out and donated ten dollars to watch the show.
