This is a big line of BS. First of all, you can't check bags in more than 4 hours prior to scheduled departure. Second, if your bag was too big to carry on, they would have had you check it at the gate. The cannot tell you to abandon your bag. That is a major security violation. I don't have to have been there to tell you for a fact that did not happen.
Even if a bag was left with them, they do not donate bags to charity. Any bags unclaimed will sit in an airline warehouse for at least 3 months, then get sent to a salvage company in Alabama.
