Charities, especially those of a medical nature, tend to evoke strong emotional attachments. All ailments/conditions/diseases are worthy of increased awareness and financial support. One group being more successful than another in fundraising is just the way it goes. Shinearama had a good run at Carleton, so now they just have to look elsewhere.
The Carleton situation is, of course, an example of student politics where even the most trivial is made monumental. Just the nature of the beast.
