Anything above zero is a credit to him, not fulfilling some sort of obligation other members of society have arbitrarily placed on him.
He didn't have to put $5,000 into that can. He did and walked out of the store. Someone saw him do it, ratted him out and the press tracked him down, sort of like Iginla putting those guys at the Salt Lake Olympics up in a hotel. Do I place an expectation on Iginla to be putting fans up in hotels? No.

interestingly combining the 2 stories, and I"ve mentioned this before, I did see a then
relatively unknown (circa 2000) Jarome Iginla deposit a huge wad of cash into one of those donation cans in an (nearly vacant) Ottawa hotel lobby. there was no way he knew anyone was watching him , or knew who he was, and he was definitely the only Flame who did it
