The donation from Elliott came two years after he celebrated a touchdown by leaping into the giant kettle.
The 2016 move quickly went viral and led to a surge in donations to The Salvation Army in the days after the game, including from Elliott, who announced that he’d donate $21,000 to the organization in an effort to “help others.” He additionally implored others to make a donation of $21.
