The NFL may not have approved of Ezekiel Elliott's touchdown celebration that included his jumping into a huge, red Salvation Army kettle, but the charity sure is happy.

The Salvation Army believes that Elliott's stunt has resulted in a 61 percent increase in donations. The charitable organization told TMZ Sports that since Zeke's TD celebration, people have been making $21 donations in honor of Elliot's jersey number.
