Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'charity' (an organization or activity to help others) with 'event' (a planned occurrence). This noun+noun composition is compositional and common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer it refers to an occasion held to raise money or awareness for a charitable cause.
Etymology
Charity event comes from community gatherings where people met with stalls, food, or music to collect money for those in need. The word charity means 'helping by giving' and event means a planned occasion, so the phrase now means an organized occasion 'to raise money' or 'to support a good cause'.
