“Los Angeles Por Ixta-Zihua, A.C.” Foundation was established in February of 2007, by Tomasina Jamison Esformes, Joseph Esformes and Ben Bourgeois.

The Foundation was created with the purpose of supporting the community of Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo region particularly the Bernardo Sepúlveda General Regional Hospital, which didn’t have adequate equipment to meet basic core health necessities; Thus combining their philanthropic activities with their passion for the bullfighting festival known as the Fiesta Brava.

In light of this situation, the Founders concluded that by
organizing Bullfights that draw on her experience in this tradition, they could develop a means of involving the community, awaken an interest in the art and culture of bullfighting and raise funds that would benefit various institutions.

The main idea of the founders is to contribute to human development with the purpose of creating awareness of society’s urgent needs.

As a result of the success of bullfigthing and concert events held in the region and in order to develop a presence at the National level and to differentiate each charity event, a subsidiary called “Los Angeles Taurinos, A. C.” has been established.
