Undefeated boxing champion Floyd Mayweather has announced a new charity initiative aimed at supporting Israeli orphans, promising to bring them birthday gifts over the coming year.
In an Instagram post shared on Sunday night, the former US national featherweight champion outlined the Mayweather Israel initiative, a plan that will see the “Floyd Mobile” visit every orphan in Israel and deliver special birthday gifts. The launch coincided with Mayweather’s appearance at a Standing Together event in Israel, just hours before his online announcement.
“Over the next year, every orphan in Israel will be visited by the Floyd Mobile and receive special birthday gifts,” Mayweather wrote. “To all the widows and orphans: hold your heads high as we honor the cherished memories of those who have passed.”
Mayweather expressed his gratitude to Shai Graucher, founder of Chessed V’Rachamim (also referred to as Standing Together), an organization known for a range of charitable efforts, including supporting IDF bases and organizing trips for widows and orphans.
Since the events of October 7, Mayweather has been strong in his support of Israel. He was among the first high-profile figures to visit the country after the attacks and has consistently contributed to Israeli organizations including United Hatzalah and Magen David Adom.
