School of Music
Today is the Blue Demon Challenge: Give Now!

Today is the Blue Demon Challenge, DePaul University's day of giving, when alumni, parents, friends, students, faculty and staff come together to support the people, programs, and spaces that make DePaul so special.

 

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. The Fund for Music helps the school meet the needs of music students, especially during these tumultuous times. During the Blue demon Challenge, your gift can go even further:

  • School of Music Challenge: Your gift to any fund in the School of Music will help unlock $50,000 from Robert (SOM '11) and Gina (LAS '99) D'Addario!
  • Music Scholarships: Rehearsal and performance requirements make it challenging for music students to work outside jobs during the academic year. Help us lighten the financial load with your gift to any scholarship fund in the school, and help unlock $50,000 from Stephen and Nicole VanderVoort!
  • Tom Mendel Bass Endowed Scholarship: Your gift to this fund will help unlock $50,000 from Tom Mendel (SOM ’78)!
  • Vittorio Angeli Enrichment Fund: Support this fund with your gift today and help unlock $5,000 from Geoff and Linda Hirt!
  • Play it Forward Challenge: When 10 alumni, students, faculty or staff of the School of Music post a video online performing any musical piece and tag it with #bluedemonchallenge, $10,000 from an anonymous donor will be unlocked!

 

 

Your gift today will help make a DePaul School of Music education a reality for talented and deserving students. Give now!
