Floyd Mayweather, the unbeaten boxing champion, has announced a new charity program aimed at supporting Israeli orphans, promising to bring them birthday gifts throughout the coming year.
In an Instagram post shared Sunday night, the former US featherweight champion detailed the Mayweather Israel Initiative, a program that will see the “Floyd Mobile” visit all the orphans in Israel and deliver special birthday gifts. The launch coincided with Mayweather’s appearance at the Standing Together event in Israel, just hours before it was announced online.
“For the next year, every orphan in Israel will be visited by Floyd Mobile and receive special birthday gifts,” Mayweather wrote. “To all widows and orphans: keep your heads up as we honor the good memories of those who have passed away.”
Mayweather thanked Shai Graucher, founder of Chessed V’Rachamim (also known as Standing Together), an organization known for its many charitable efforts, including supporting IDF bases and organizing trips for widows and orphans.
Since the incident on October 7, Mayweather has been vocal in his support for Israel. He was among the first prominent people to visit the country following the attacks and has been involved in Israeli organizations, including United Hatzalah and Magen David Adom.
