Floyd Mayweather, the undefeated boxing champion, has announced a new charity initiative aimed at supporting Israeli orphans, promising to bring them birthday gifts over the next year.
In an Instagram post released Sunday night, the former US national featherweight champion detailed the Mayweather Israel Initiative, a plan to have the “Floyd Mobile” visit every orphan in Israel and deliver special birthday gifts. The launch coincided with Mayweather’s appearance at the Standing Together event in Israel, just hours before its online release.
“Over the next year, every orphan in Israel will visit Floyd Mobile and receive special birthday gifts,” Mayweather wrote. “To all widows and orphans: lift up your heads as we honor the dear memories of those who have passed away.”
Mayweather expressed his gratitude to Shay Graucher, founder of Chessed V’Rachamim (also known as Standing Together), an organization known for a number of charitable efforts, including supporting IS bases and organizing trips for widows and orphans.
Since the October 7 event, Mayweather has been a vocal supporter 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.
