Hard to squeeze into the topic title, so here are more details. Edgar Renteria, World Series MVP, has asked that a party to be thrown in his honor in his home country of Colombia be called off, with the money instead being used towards flood victims.

Might be a better idea to tweak the party rather than cancel it. FYI, tons of famous people are involved in charity.

Why can't more rich and/or famous people give to charities? Do you have any grasp of where most charities and charitable donations come from?

Both Bill Gates and Warren Buffet have given billions towards charities. And they will give billions more.
