how much money did the emmys raise for boys and girls club

The 2025 Emmy Awards raised a total of $350,000 for the Boys and Girls Clubs of America. This amount came from a $100,000 pledge by CBS and a $250,000 donation from Nate Bargatze, the Emmy host. Bargatze had initially pledged $100,000 with a twist that the donation amount would decrease by $1,000 for every second an acceptance speech went over 45 seconds, but eventually he and CBS supplemented the donation to reach $350,000. This total does not include additional funds raised during the event from other donors, which remain unspecified.
