Ezekiel Elliott’s celebration spikes donations to Salvation Army
A small jump for Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott has spurred a big jump in donations for the Salvation Army.
Elliott’s now viral end zone celebration in which he jumped in the red kettle bucket in the back of the end zone during Sunday’s 26-20 victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has brought a great amount of attention and money to the Salvation Army.
Salvation Army says it raised $182,000 (+61%) though online donations in first 14 hours after Ezekiel Elliott's TD red kettle jump.
