Blue Demon Challenge 2023

The Blue Demon Challenge (BDC) is DePaul University's annual day of giving, when alumni, parents, students, faculty, staff and friends come together to give back—and this year we're raising our sights again! Your gift of any size during the BDC can help us get closer to reaching our goal of raising $7,000,000 in a single day!

Your gift to the School of Music is an investment in the lives of student-musicians at DePaul and helps build a sense of community for all of DePaul University. During the Blue Demon Challenge, your gift can go even further:

• SCHOOL OF MUSIC CHALLENGE: When we receive 75 gifts to the School of Music, Dr. Geoffrey A. Hirt will give $26,000!
• SCHOOL OF MUSIC SCHOLARHSIP CHALLENGE: When we receive 20 gifts to any scholarship fund in the School of Music, an anonymous donor will give $20,000 to music scholarships!
• ANGELI ENRICHMENT FUND CHALLENGE: When we receive 10 gifts to the Vittorio Angeli Enrichment Fund, Dr. Geoffrey A. Hirt will give $5,000 to the fund! If we receive 20 gifts, he will give an additional $5,000!

We also have challenges for faculty/staff, student, and parent giving—check out the Challenges page to see all the ways your giving can impact DePaul today!
