For 57 years, Glen Ellyn has been honoring the BEST of what and who makes Glen Ellyn such a wonderful village to live, work and play. 2020 has been such a hard year, and everyone truly deserves recognition for navigating through all the challenges, changes and hardships of a world pandemic and more. Many of our civil servants, businesses, non-profits and residents have risen up consistently through these obstacles to support their community, reorganize their business plan, and go above and beyond. These are the reasons to hold these awards. These are the individuals behind what makes Glen Ellyn great.
Event Description:
New this year we are excited to announce that the 57th Annual Glen Ellyn Community Awards Ceremony will be virtual for all to view at 'Watch Parties' throughout Glen Ellyn Restaurants or in your own home!
