Worldwide Ambassador

Worldwide Ambassador, Cyndee Baczysnki-Head, has found herself a solider in the war against breast cancer.  After competing in multiple pageantry systems, and multiple local and state titles, Cyndee found a system whose platform was parallel to what she promoted.  The Worldwide/Queen of Hope pageant opened new doors and opportunities to help further the research to find a cure.  Although Cyndee has not been physically attacked by breast cancer, it has consumed many lives around her. 

In 1969, Cyndee's  maternal grandmother passed away from breast cancer, never getting the opportunity to become a part of her granddaughters life.  Twenty years later, her maternal aunt began to face the same challenge.  However, she was able to battle the beast and prevail.  Unfortunately this invasive disease continued to haunt family and loved ones.  Aunts, cousins, friends and co-workers of Cyndee have all had to face the challenge.  Some have won, while others, although their fight and spirits were strong, could not overcome this obstacle. It is Cyndee's life long goal to walk, fight, educate, and turn the world pink to raise awareness and motivate people, especially the healthcare and medical industries, to find a cure.  The time is now to put a stop to this devastating disease and let families have peace. 

Cyndee  promotes healthy lifestyles through diet and exercise.  Cyndee, who is an obesity survivor, educates others on nutrition and aerobic activities, helping them take control of their lives.  It is her goal to be an inspiration to those who do not know how to begin a program, in which losing weight does not have to result from extreme measures, such as weight loss surgeries, but a lifestyle change which can be controlled by the individual. 

Cyndee has retired from competing in pageants.  However, she is now the Pageant Coordinator for the Worldwide/Queen of Hope Pageant.  The pageant achieved its highest attendance, delegates, and exposure in 2009, when it was brought to Tempe, Arizona.  This is the pageants new home, in which Cyndee will continue to raise the bar and exceed expectations of the pageant world.  It was at the 2009 pageant, where the delegates and Wendy, the director,  nominated Cyndee for the Worldwide Ambassador title.  It is a lifetime appointment, which is decided by Effie Horning, founder and owner of the Worldwide pageant.  Cyndee is one of eight Ambassadors over more than a decade.  It is an honor to be in such distinguished company.

Cyndee Baczynski-Head, a native Arizonian, is a graduate of Arizona State University in Education, and received her Masters degree from Northern Arizona University in Educational Leadership.  She taught math and science for 9 years, and has been a school administrator since 2002.
