The award will be presented by the Glen Ellyn Chamber of Commerce during their Glen Ellyn Community Awards ceremony presented during a virtual video presentation this year that will be held in March 2021.

Bhagat, who donated more than 300 music therapy kits to local students, including students at Arbor View, Briar Glen, Glen Crest, and Park View. Several teachers had requested the RhythmWORKS Music kits and Dr. Bhagat’s son and daughter-in-law decided to fund all the remaining requests in honor of Dr. Bhagat, who died from COVID-19 in October.
