[Photo Story] Sunday’s Festivities Conclude THON 2025 With A Bang

Talk about finishing strong, right?
The last 16 hours of THON didn’t let any tired feet or eyes slow it down. Sunday’s events concluded THON Weekend for 2025, capping off with a record-setting total reveal of $17,737,040.93.
As always, our photographers were on the floor at the Bryce Jordan Center to capture all the magic. Let’s recount Sunday’s festivities by looking at some of our favorite photos.
The very early hours of the morning weren’t nearly as dull as you may think. Just after midnight, live performances included a DJ and an 80s-themed set from Velveeta. Adam and the Armadillos were featured in rodeo hour, which had dancers hootin’ and hollerin’ despite the low crowd.




The morning was filled with lots of stage performances. From dance troupes to a cappella groups, the morning entertainment had it all.






The morning hours were filled with lots of stretching.



Local band OK Otter got the vibes going as the sun came up with some catchy tunes like “Free Bird” and “The Middle.”



After OK Otter, the minutes and hours were passed with stretching, mopping, and dancing.



The Slides of Strength gave dancers a brief reprieve from standing.




The heart of THON’s Sunday activities really got going with the annual Kids’ Fashion Show. All of the kids were certainly dressed to impress.






Following a DJ set from Raven Criscitello, Dancer Relations captains from the last six years took to the stage to perform the line dances from 2020 through the current 2025 edition.



Next up was Family Hour, featuring the annual Family Procession, emotional testimonies from Four Diamonds families, and a touching tribute video.



THON is such a special event because of the hope that it brings to these families undergoing the most difficult challenge any parent could imagine for their children. That’s why we dance, in celebration of the hope that must endure.
Go Go Gadjet took to the stage next to get dancers across the home stretch, igniting the BJC with intangible energy.




Once the set was over, it was finally time for the dancers to take their much-needed seats on the ground. They did it…46 hours with no sitting or sleeping.




After announcing the organization totals for the year, it was finally time to announce the THON 2025 grand total! THON set an all-time record this year, raising $17,737,040.93, all For The Kids.

Understandably, the BJC broke out in celebration. What a moment.




That’ll do it from THON 2025. We’ll see you all next year!
