Get the word between Special character

I have string like this for example

string content = "VCA Event is$EventName$$ShelterName$ will be in Texas Hospital";

I want character between "$". and I am not sure how many words I have with "$".

It could be 1: "VCA Event is$EventName$ will be in Texas Hospital";
IT could be 2:"VCA Event is$EventName$$ShelterName$ will be in Texas Hospital";
It could be any numbers and the string between two "$" is also not fixed it could be any character.

Please give me some soultion of this.I am stuck in this one.

do you want the words between exactly two $ signs, or do you want all the words in the string except dollar sign....

please clarify...

OK. Please update the code as follows:

var rx = new Regex(@"\$([^\$]+?)\$");
string content = "VCA Event is$EventName$Name$ShelterName$ will be in Texas Hospital";

string[] keywords = rx.Matches(content).Cast<Match>().Select( _ => _.Groups[1].Value).ToArray();

/* Output

EventName
ShelterName

*/
