Philanthropic Activities

Involved in numerous philanthropic activities in his community, Yizhak Toledano is committed to charitable causes, mostly recently with a donation of $3 million to the Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital Foundation, a nonprofit public organization that supports health care provided to children served by Florida’s Memorial Healthcare System. Originally, Yizhak had planned to donate $1 million to the foundation, but when he met with the health care system's executive team he learned that the foundation had received a commitment from a charitable fund to match a $3 million donation if the foundation could find one individual to give $3 million. Proceeds will be used to build a new children's hospital, which will be situated across the street from Memorial's flagship hospital, where Yizhak Toledano’s children were born. The new hospital is expected to be the best place for pediatric cancer treatment in the state of Florida. Among his other philanthropic involvements, Yizhak is a strong supporter of K’far Chabad in Israel.
