Womanspace to Honor Troy Vincent Sr. at the 27th Annual Barbara Boggs Sigmund Award Dinner May 4

March 30, 2023 – Womanspace, a Mercer County nonprofit dedicated to serving individuals and families impacted by domestic violence and sexual assault, is pleased to announce that Troy Vincent Sr. will be honored with the Barbara Boggs Sigmund Award in recognition of his dedication to preventing abuse within the home and on the field. The 27th Annual Award Dinner will be held at 5:30pm on May 4, 2023 at the Westin Princeton at Forrestal Village.

A former Philadelphia Eagles cornerback and Trenton native, Vincent is also a Hall of Famer and EVP of Football Operations at the NFL. Being directly affected by domestic violence, both Vincent and his wife Tommi share a passion for and commitment to advocating for violence-free homes and communities. They serve through visiting shelters, speaking to advocacy groups, and encouraging others to act to end domestic violence and sexual assault. In addition, nearly 20 years ago in their hometown of Trenton, Troy and Tommi founded the Love Thy Neighbor foundation. A humanitarian effort defined by giving back and empowering the lives of others, the Vincent’s have since expanded their work to neighborhoods throughout the nation.

“It is indeed humbling to be the recipient of the 2023 Barbara Boggs Sigmund Award. Its significance and legacy represent decades of dedication to end domestic violence and sexual assault. Turning pain into purpose is an example of how one voice can grow to be amplified on behalf of millions, and it’s a reminder that violence against women and young girls is our issue,” said Troy Vincent Sr. on his nomination.

Named after the former Mayor of Princeton and a founder of Womanspace, the Barbara Boggs Sigmund Award Dinner honors a survivor, advocate, and trailblazer who made real difference in the lives of survivors.

In addition to an inspiring award ceremony, the night will include a cocktail reception and silent auction, to be followed by dinner, drinks, and an exciting raffle. Guests who attend the Awards Dinner, Womanspace’s biggest fundraiser of the year, and sponsor it at a certain level, will also be invited to a VIP Reception with Mr. Vincent himself. “Womanspace is honored to have Troy Vincent Sr. as the 27th Barbara Boggs Sigmund Award recipient. Domestic violence is not just a women’s issue. It’s an issue that affects everyone, and Troy’s passion for ending intimate partner violence is inspiring,” said Nathalie Nelson, CEO & President of Womanspace.
