Jacobson and Balfour attended the Human Rights Campaign National Dinner in Washington, DC, in October 2022. Jacobson and her "A League of Their Own" costar Chanté Adams were both honoured at the dinner with the national visibility award at the event. Jacobson said in part during their speech, "I am so proud that 'A League of Their Own' touched so many people in the LGBTQ+ community. It was incredibly important to me – as a queer woman – to represent the different types of queerness that have always existed on the show."
She continued, "It is a universal story of resilience and hope – and it's incredibly gay. I'm so grateful to HRC for honouring our whole team – cast and crew that made this together, and for the entire community's support of our show."
Actor and LGBTQ+ advocate Sheryl Lee Ralph also received an honour at the event.
