how much did emmys raise

The 2025 Emmy Awards ended up raising a total of $350,000 for the Boys and Girls Club of America. This amount came after the host, Nate Bargatze, pledged an initial donation of $100,000, which was adjusted based on the lengths of winners' acceptance speeches—adding money if speeches were under 45 seconds or subtracting money if over. Despite the donation total fluctuating drastically and even dipping into negative territory during the show, CBS added $100,000, and Bargatze personally donated $250,000 to bring the final amount to $350,000.
