A former captain of the Philadelphia Eagles Cheerleaders and certified
aerobics instructor, Heather Cunningham has translated both her team
spirit and her spirit for life into a spirit of giving to children in
need. Heather and her husband of 10 years, Tom, are advocates for
children, serving as Wish Grantors for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, as well as contributors to the
Starlight, Starbright Foundation, the Junior Achievement Program, and the
Children's Miracle Network. Heather will travel throughout the state
and the nation promoting her platform, "Project GIVE", which
focuses on enhancing the lives of children suffering with life-threatening
medical conditions. In the battle against her own life-threatening medical condition, Lupus, Heather has taken a proactive role as a board member of the South Jersey Lupus Foundation, chairing two of their largest events and raising $200,000 in annual net proceeds for Lupus research. She is also a community Lupus Awareness spokeswoman through appearances on CN8 TV's Comcast Newsmakers, which airs during CNN Headline News. |
| A graduate of Cabrini College with a B.S. in Accounting, professionally,
Cunningham is employed a mortgage relocation specialist, and is a triple recipient of her
company's Outstanding Employee Award for Excellence. When not hard at work or doing community service, she likes to play
tennis, golf, ski, attend Broadway musicals, and pamper her four-legged,
five-year old friend, Lulu.
