how much was donated to the boys and girls club at the emmys

The total amount donated to the Boys and Girls Club at the 2025 Emmys was $350,000. This donation came from comedian and host Nate Bargatze, who personally donated $250,000, and an additional $100,000 was donated by CBS, the show's broadcaster. The donation was part of a fundraising stunt during the Emmys where Bargatze pledged $100,000 initially and would subtract $1,000 for each second acceptance speeches went over time, but he increased his personal donation to ensure a significant final amount for the charity.
