The money will be distributed between three organizations: Birmingham Childrenā€™s Hospital, Acorn Childrenā€™s Hospice, and Cure Parkinsonā€™s. Each charity was able to raise tens of thousands more by raffling off tickets to the show. According to [_Billboard_](https://www.billboard.com/lists/highest-grossing-charity-concerts-list-ozzy-black-sabbath/), that pushed the total beyond $200 million, which makes Back To The Beginning the highest-grossing charity concert of all time, far surpassing the $100 million raised by [this yearā€™s FireAid shows in LA](https://www.stereogum.com/2294991/watch-nirvana-play-surprise-reunion-set-at-fireaid-with-st-vincent-kim-gordon-joan-jett-violet-grohl/news/). Over $200m for childrenā€™s charities and Parkinsonā€™s research. Good on you, sir.
