Final total: $933,855

DM raised $933,855 this year, breaking the fundraising record for the second year in a row and helped along by a record number of dancers.

Zeta Beta Tau and Delta Gamma raised the most of any group, with slightly more than $120,000. It was the first time any collaboration had broken into six digits for fundraising, DM execs said.

Before presenting checks, DM execs said both girls who collapsed near the end of the marathon were "fine."

DM execs announced the number shortly after 1 a.m. as the marathon began concluding early Sunday morning. Dancers were allowed to leave, but the marathon will not officially end until checks have been presented.
