The red Salvation Army kettle made famous by Cowboys rookie running back Ezekiel Elliot is now available for selfies and donations at NorthPark Center in Dallas.
During Sunday night's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Elliott celebrated a touchdown by jumping into the oversized kettle placed near the stands. The move became an instant fan and social media favorite, but he was hit with a 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct.
The NFL ultimately decided not to fine Elliot, and he donated $21,000 to the Salvation Army. Since the kettle hop, the Salvation Army has seen $850,000 in donations--a $250,000 increase from last week, according to the Cowboys website.
The kettle, that includes a cardboard cutout of Elliot, is available at NorthPark Center until Christmas Eve. The Salvation Army is asking people to make a suggsted $21 donation, in honor of Elliot's jersey number, when taking photos with the kettle.
