2015 BBS was a Success!

Womanspace would like to thank all of those who attended our 21st Annual Barbara Boggs Sigmund Award Ceremony at the Hyatt Regency in Princeton on Thursday, May 14th. The night was a huge success with our Honoree Minh Dang bringing everyone to tears with her moving song, and heartfelt speech. We’re so thankful to have people who support our mission at Womanspace and are dedicated to helping our agency. The event raised a net total of $125,000 and over 320 guests attended. Thank you again for all of your support!
