Slowly, members of the Thon overall committee each raised a poster to reveal the total: $6,615,318.04.

This year's total surpassed last year's record of $5,240,385.17 by $1,374,932.87.

After 708 dancers fell to the ground, the total amount of money students raised to donate to the Four Diamonds Fund was shown.

The millions of dollars raised will help families pay for treatment and other extensive costs while their children are battling cancer.

Forty-six hours of standing, dancing, staying awake and being active have finally come to a close.

A year's worth of planning and four weekends of canning culminated as the final number was revealed.

After the initial shock wore off, dancers and spectators screamed, hugged and cried.
