Event Overview:
DePaul’s biggest yearly fundraising event is back! Each year, the Blue Demon Challenge has grown in impact, and with your help, we can make 2025 the best yet.

How to Help:
- Donate to “Fund for English” to support all funding related to our English department!
- Donate to “Fund for Big Shoulders Books”! The goal of Big Shoulders Books is to disseminate, free of cost, quality works of writing by/about Chicagoans whose voices might not otherwise be shared. Each year, BSB aims to make small but meaningful contributions to discussions of injustice and inequality in Chicago, a practice helped in large part by DePaul University students. Your gift will help fund editing, design, production, shipping, and promotional costs for BSB, ensuring the continued success of its mission.
