Worldwide Ambassador, Cyndee Baczysnki-Head, has found herself a solider in the war against cancer. After competing in multiple pageantry systems, and multiple local and state titles, Cyndee found a system whose platform was parallel to hers. The Worldwide/Queen of Hope pageant opened doors and opportunities to help further the research to find a cure. Although Cyndee has not been physically attacked by cancer, it has consumed many lives around her.
The Worldwide Ambassador title was awarded to Cyndee in August of 2009 during the 2009 Queen of Hope/Worldwide International pageant in Tempe, Arizona. This title is only bestowed on a select group of women, who are nominated by their peers, and then chosen by Effie Horning, owner of the Worldwide Pageant System. The Ambassador title allows Cyndee to contnue her search for a cure working in the field of pageantry, since her retirement from competing in 2009. Cyndee is also the pageant coordinator of the Queen of Hope/Worldwide International Pageant. Since her involvement in 2008, the pageant has nearly trippled in delegates, and grown expontentially. The expectations continue to grow, with the possible addition of a new age group for the 2011 pageant.
Cyndee is dedicating all of her work in the field of cancer research and philantraphy to her late Uncle. Robert Baczynski was diagnosed with lung cancer in November of 2009, and became a Guardian Angel on Christmas day. Cyndee has arranged two events in honor of her uncle Bob with the help of her students. Climb for a Cure in February of 2009 was dedicated to him and the students raised $1080.00. In April of 2010 at the Race for the Cure, another $1500.00 was raised and donated in his name. This year a donation will be made to the American Cancer Society in his name from the Queen of Hope/Worldwide International Pageant.
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 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.
