The annual Musician's Christmas event saw an increase in funds raised for charity even without charging for admission.
The event was streamed virtually this year, and encouraged viewers to make a donation toward the Collingwood General and Marine Hospital Foundation.
This week, Musician's Christmas creator Paul Young brought a cheque for $4,785 to the hospital, which is almost a 25 per cent increase over the $4,000 raised at last year's in-person event at Collingwood legion.
The virtual event premiered on Dec. 19 at 7 p.m. and is now posted to YouTube.
