Floyd Mayweather Donates $1 Million to United Hatzalah at Miami Gala

United Hatzalah of Israel provides free, voluneteer emergency medical services all around Israel in an average response time of three minutes or less and often in less than 90 seconds. In October, Mayweather donated $100,000 to the organization to help it purchase 100 bulletproof vests to keep volunteers safe during ongoing Israel-Hamas war.

Former talk show host Jay Leno was a special guest at the United Hatzalah gala on Thursday night and talked about his longtime support for the organization. He also called for the immediate return of the 100 hostages who remain held in captivity in Gaza since being abducted by Hamas-led terrorists in Israel more than 14 months ago. “About a mile and a half from my house, there’s a wonderful thing they do everyday, they have about 1,200 Israeli flags for the wounded and the hostage … it reminds people not to forget,” Leno said.

Shortly after the Oct. 7 Hamas-led terrorist attack in southern Israel last year, Mayweather sent his private jet to Israel to deliver medical equipment, food, and other items, including bulletproof vests for soldiers in the Israel Defense Forces. He was one of the first outside of Israel to provide resources and supplies to the country at the start of the Israel-Hamas war. He has previously expressed support for soldiers in the Israel Defense Forces fighting in the ongoing war in Gaza, and earlier this month announced a new initiative in which he would gift every orphan in Israel a present for their birthday.
