Thanks to ticket sales from her show, Spears was able to raise and donate $1 million to build a brand-new 16,000 square-foot facility at the Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation.

“There are many things I’ve done in my career that I am proud of, but none more than this,” said Spears in a statement.

“The fact that I was able to use my celebrity status to raise the money to build this incredible facility to help sick children and their families when they need it the most not only brings many tears to my eyes, but really brings tremendous meaning to this amazing journey that I have been on.”

According to a press release, the facility will be named the Britney Spears Campus and provide 45 pediatric and adult medical services. Spears also revealed a personal motivation in making the donation.

“My aunt Sandra died of cancer and I know the devastating effects that this terrible disease brings upon its victims and their loved ones, but when it happens to innocent young children, there’s literally nothing I can think of worse than that. I’m just glad that I can help in some small way. I want to thank the NCCF for the amazing work they do on a daily basis and I look forward to being there to officially open the Britney Spears Campus of the Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation in the fall,” she said.

Founded in 1993, the NCCF is a non-profit organization which aims to “improve the quality of life for critically ill children, their families, and adults touched by cancer” in Southern Nevada.

“We are so thrilled and genuinely excited about moving into our new beautiful location. Our heartfelt thanks go out to Britney Spears for her compassion and dedication to our cause, giving us the means to do this through a recent capital campaign,” said Jeff Gordon, NCCF president and CEO, in a statement.

“The impact this will have on all the families we serve will be immeasurable as it will allow us to take care of even more community members in need of our many services.”

Following a four-year run, Spears will bring Piece of Me to a close on December 31, 2017.

Taylor Swift

A video posted by Taylor Swift (@taylorswift) on Nov 24, 2016 at 5:40pm PST

Taylor Swift was far from a recording studio when she and her pals (including brother Austin Swift) froze during a chilly day on the beach. However, they could only resist the beats of Rae Sremmurd’s “Black Beatles” for so long.

Destiny’s Child

It’s always refreshing to see the ladies of Destiny’s Child together again, whether it’s at the Super Bowl or in a playful setting such as this one.

Britney Spears

We use our bodies to make our own #MannequinChallenge THANK YOU for voting #PieceOfMe for @TheBestOfLV!!!

A video posted by Britney Spears (@britneyspears) on Nov 12, 2016 at 6:08pm PST

Another blast from the past, Britney Spears took a break from rehearsal for her Britney: Piece of Me Las Vegas show to pause for the camera as her new single “Slumber Party” plays in the background.

Adele

Mannequin challenge

Adele gets bonus points for her creativity which includes a cowboy-themed Mannequin Challenge, Johnny Cash soundtrack, and sepia filter, which she previously used in her music video for “Hello.”

Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney became a household name during the 1960’s as a part of The Beatles, but the legendary musician goes solo for his Mannequin Challenge behind the keys of a piano.

Kevin Hart

Kevin Hart took the Mannequin Challenge to the weight room where the comedian impressively remained still while supporting a large amount of weight during a squat session.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson

Fresh off being announced as People’s “Sexiest Man Alive,” Hart’s Central Intelligence co-star Dwayne Johnson took part in the Mannequin Challenge numerous times including during the premiere of his movie Moana and backstage at a taping of Ellen.

Ellen DeGeneres with Warren Beatty

Speaking of Ellen, everyone’s favorite daytime talk show host gave us a glimpse backstage of her hit show which included a “how they’d do that” shot of a ping pong ball in mid-air and a cameo of screen legend Warren Beatty.

This isn’t the only time you’ll see Ellen on the list.

James Corden

James Corden and the crew of The Late Late Show couldn’t stay confined to one room for their Mannequin Challenge. The camera explores the entire soundstage of the CBS late night show and Corden hustles to appear in the first and last shots of the video.

Kate Hudson, Courteney Cox and Friends

Mannequin Challenge Take 86 @erinfoster @sweetbabyjamie @jenmeyerjewelry @katehudson @rachelzoe @donatiennela @missemward

A video posted by Sara Foster (@sarafoster) on Nov 12, 2016 at 6:40pm PST

A backyard barbecue amongst celebrity friends (including Kate Hudson and Courteney Cox) came to halt to participate in the challenge. Though not the cleanest attempt at the trend, we give them points for hitting the pause button on a party which includes pets and kids. Not an easy task.

Dancing with the Stars

Also not easy, pausing in mid-dance. The cast and crew of the latest season of the hit reality competition took a timeout during rehearsal…then quickly got back to work.

Mark Ballas

Meanwhile in the groomsmen room moments before walking the aisle #mannquinchallenge #MarkandBCBallas @derekhough @divadarv @salmaida4 #lochlinbramlett @travisgarland @bobbynewberry @tj_paradise Suits by @groomofficial @octaviusterry @omcformal @rawhydemfg @pskaufman wedding style: @iammoniquelauren Watches by : @bgenius15

In the most dapper Mannequin Challenge yet, DWTS dancer Mark Ballas and his groomsmen stood still before he exchanged vows with his fiancé, singer-songwriter BC Jean.

Hillary Clinton Campaign

Don’t stand still. Vote today: https://t.co/jfd3CXLD1s #ElectionDay #MannequinChallenge pic.twitter.com/4KAv2zu0rd

— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) November 8, 2016

Election Day didn’t turn out the way Hillary Clinton had hoped but the day started with a smile as she, her campaign staffers, Jon Bon Jovi, and her husband, 42nd President of the United States Bill Clinton, took part in the challenge on a jet and spread the message: “Don’t stand still. Vote today.”

Michelle Obama, LeBron James and the NBA Champion Cleveland Cavaliers

From a former First Lady to the current one, Michelle Obama shared a selfie with LeBron James in the middle of the Cleveland Cavaliers challenge as the team celebrated its first NBA championship with a trip to the White House.

Ellen’s White House Mannequin Challenge

Ellen returns on the list to top Mrs. Obama and Mr. James with the most star-studded Mannequin Challenge yet.

Two years after she nearly broke the internet with her Oscar selfie, the comedian got everyone at the recent Presidential Medal of Freedom ceremony at the White House to participate in the trend.

Robert De Niro, Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bruce Springsteen, Bill Gates, Diana Ross, and Michael Jordan are among the famous faces making an appearance.

Pentatonix

We took on the #MannequinChallenge with an audience of 8,000 people during our show last night!!! SO CRAZY! #PTXWorldTour pic.twitter.com/iFWeyzuMvB

— Pentatonix (@PTXofficial) November 18, 2016

A cappella group Pentatonix can’t beat Ellen’s attempt as far as celebrity cameos go, but they surpass every video on the list in sheer number of people as they got 8,000 audience members at a November concert to stay still for one whole minute. Impressive stuff.
