Younity’s 30th Annual Awards Dinner

For 30 years, our Annual Awards Dinner has been a cornerstone event—bringing together community leaders, supporters, and advocates to reflect on our shared commitment to care, justice, and connection. What began as a single evening of recognition has grown into a meaningful tradition that honors leadership, celebrates impact, and sustains the work that makes our mission possible.

This milestone year marks three decades of gathering together—standing with victim-survivors, strengthening our community, and affirming that when we come together with purpose, real change is possible.

To celebrate our 30th anniversary, a limited-time $30 anniversary discount is available on tickets.

Pricing increases on March 6.

The Barbara Boggs Sigmund Award is named in honor of one of the founders of Younity and a pioneering advocate who helped bring the issue of domestic violence out of silence and into public awareness.

Barbara Boggs Sigmund believed deeply that protecting those most vulnerable to abuse is a shared community responsibility. At a time when domestic violence was often dismissed as a private matter, she worked to elevate the issue through visibility, education, and civic leadership—laying the foundation for Younity’s mission and its commitment to survivor-centered support and prevention.

The award bearing her name recognizes individuals whose leadership reflects these same values: courage in confronting difficult truths, compassion for those impacted by abuse, and a commitment to using one’s voice and influence to advance dignity, justice, and safety for others.

This year, Younity is proud to present the Barbara Boggs Sigmund Award to Amna Nawaz, in recognition of her distinguished career in journalism and her commitment to elevating issues of justice, accountability, and public understanding.

Amna Nawaz’s career reflects the values at the heart of the Barbara Boggs Sigmund Award. Through her work as a journalist, she has brought clarity and humanity to stories involving violence, justice, and systemic inequities—including reporting that sheds light on domestic violence and its impact on individuals and communities.

By honoring Amna Nawaz, Younity recognizes a leader whose work aligns with Barbara Boggs Sigmund’s founding vision: that informed communities are better equipped to protect those most vulnerable to abuse, and that public awareness is a critical step toward lasting change.

As our Annual Awards Dinner has grown over the years, so too has our community. This year, we are honored to host the event at Trenton Country Club, allowing us to welcome more guests and create an experience that reflects the scale and significance of this milestone celebration.

Founded in 1897 and located on the historic Oaklands property, Trenton Country Club has long served as a gathering place for community, conversation, and connection. Its gracious setting and warm atmosphere make it a fitting backdrop for an evening dedicated to honoring leadership, celebrating service, and bringing people together in shared purpose.

We are grateful for the opportunity to continue this cherished tradition in a space that allows our community to come together more fully—marking 30 years of impact and looking ahead to the work still to come.
