THON 2025 Day Three Recap

It’s been a long 46 hours, folks, but THON 2025 is officially in the books.

If you’ve been with us for the past few days, then you’re aware of all the singing and dancing we’ve been doing all weekend. If not, no worries, we’re here to bring you the highlights from the final day of THON. We won’t lie, the last day of THON was a rollercoaster of emotions. From Family Hour to GoGo Gadget, and finally, the total of $17,737,040.93, revealing all of the hard work put forth the past year.

Adam & The Armadillos Take The Stage

In the early hours of the morning, Adam and the Armadillos took the stage and rocked the stage. With hits like “Chicken Fried” and “Revival”, the Armadillos had us on our feet and kept the good vibes rolling.

We Did More Line Dancing (& The BJC Was Boomin’)

Not only did we do more line dancing, but we shook off the cobwebs and brought back the line dances from the past five years. The crowd welcomed the Dancer Relations captains from 2020 and went on to reminisce on all our favorite dances. We made the BJC boom and shook the floor one more time before, once again, bringing the boom with our 2025 Dancer Relations captains.

The Kids Fashion Show Stole Our Hearts

Per THON tradition, the Kids Fashion Show showcased current and former Four Diamonds children who were dressed to impress. There were capes, princesses, and sequins galore.

We couldn’t get enough of these runway stars!

Why We THON

We then moved right along into the THON Family Hour, which reminded us why we fundraise and dance, all in the hope of a cure. We heard from THON families and saw the “Celebration of Life” video where we remembered those who were taken too soon from pediatric cancer.

Go Go Gadjet Had Us Go Go Going

After an emotional “Celebration of Life” video, Go Go Gadjet had us back on our feet to dry our tears with an incredible set. They absolutely blew the roof off of the BJC and had us screaming until there was no tomorrow.

$17,737,040.93 ALL FTK

That’s a new record, even when you account for inflation ;).
