Heather Cunningham

People's Choice Award

1. Which celebrity do you think you look like?
I am dearly committed to integrity and community leadership, and I love that I am able to show my warmth and empathy to children who suffer from illnesses by granting their most magical wishes. I am so thrilled to be part of the International family that embodies these same qualities.

2. Which do your prefer? Talking on the phone or texting?
It is very special for me to walk by a FAO Schwarz toy store to know that my paternal family founded it many years ago. By the time I was born it had already changed hands, but knowing it continues to provide children with joy is such a wonderful blessing.

3. What’s something you only do when you get bored?
As a former ballerina and competitive tennis player, I had to make sure that I had a balanced exercise regimen, along with a personal mind-body connection. That regimen still lives in me today. In order to keep up with my nimble father on the tennis court, it has to!

4. Are you overly loyal to any clothing brands?
It’s important to recognize that values differ amongst families and cultures. Honesty, empathy, trustworthiness, respect, integrity, humor, individuality – these are the core values that lovingly define my family. Living what we say we believe in is our motto. We live each day full of devotion and goodness for one another.

5. What is the biggest risk you have ever taken?
Diners! New Jersey is the diner capital of the world! I wouldn’t be a true Jersey girl if the thought of an all-you-can-eat 24-hour breakfast buffet didn’t make my mouth water. I completely overdose on pancakes with warm butter and syrup – I just can’t help myself!
