Floyd Mayweather, the undefeated boxing champion, has announced a new charitable initiative aimed at supporting Israeli orphans, pledging to bring them birthday gifts throughout the coming year.
In an Instagram post shared Sunday night, the former US national featherweight champion detailed the Mayweather Israel Initiative, a plan that will see the “Floyd Mobile” visit every orphan in Israel and deliver special birthday presents. 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: keep your heads held high as we honor the cherished memories of those who have passed.”
Mayweather extended 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 arranging trips for widows and orphans.
Since the events of October 7, Mayweather has been vocal in his backing of Israel. He was among the first high-profile figures to visit the country following the attacks and has consistently contributed to Israeli organizations, including United Hatzalah and Magen David Adom.
