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!
