Téléthon 2025 Final Tally Reaches €100.5 Million

Post-broadcast donations lifted the total well above the December pledge figure.

Overview

  • AFM-Téléthon, which published its final 2025 tally Monday, confirmed €100,548,314 raised for rare-disease research.
  • Pledges stood at €83.5 million at the close of the December 5–6 broadcast, with later gifts pushing the sum to the definitive total.
  • The result tops the roughly €97 million raised in 2024.
  • AFM-Téléthon says the money supports about 40 human clinical trials for blood, liver, muscle, vision and immune-system diseases, in a field where about 95% of rare conditions still lack a treatment.
  • The campaign combined 30 hours on France Télévisions with more than 20,000 local events across France, and the next Téléthon is set for December 4–5, 2026.
