GAYPV joins the many friends, family and supporters in grief and mourning the tragic loss of our friend, community leader and founder of White Party Palm Springs and White Party Puerto Vallarta. He passed away Friday May 28, 2021 with his family at his side from a battle with liver cancer. We had the pleasure of working with and knowing Jeffrey personally and hope to see his legacy continued and his memory honored with dignity and respect. We were proud to feature him on the cover of issue 13 when announcing White Party would be coming to Puerto Vallarta.
Sanker and Javier Jimenez brought the first White Party to Puerto Vallarta Thanksgiving weekend November 27 to November 30th, 2015. The inaugural White Party Puerto Vallarta featured two of the industry’s top DJs – Alex Acosta and Cindel – with local talents DJ Ramses and Daniel Sandoval. In his press release Jeffrey told GAYPV “To keep with the White Party Palm Springs tradition, there will be big surprises unveiled at White Party Puerto Vallarta, including top performers, White Party signature Go-go Gods, and designer Andrew Christian giveaways.”
