I am James Packard-Gomez I am proud to have won the magical dress of the evening in question not only did I win a beautiful gown but I helped two causes that are close to my heart. My biological birth mother and her sister suffer from MS. And I also went to Haiti within two weeks of the quake for 5 days to help out with the children on the ground. Thanks James Packard-Gomez
