The friends and family of Avonte Oquendo continued to search for the missing teen over the weekend and received some extra help from the Rev. Al Sharpton.

Sharpton pledged $5,000 toward the reward to find the 14-year-old autistic boy who ran away from Center Boulevard School in Long Island City on Oct. 4. The total reward is now $89,500. Cops have been constantly combing the subways and other areas throughout the city to find Oquendo. Sharpton's National Action Network joined his family in a search on Saturday night.
