Dundee High School's Interact group will present £750 to the University of Dundee's TICR appeal tomorrow, April 30.
The group raised the cash for The Institute of Cardiovascular Research by organising discos for each year of the school, from S1 to S6.
TICR chairman Robert McLaren will meet some representatives of the group when he visits the High School to accept the donation.
Robert said, " I am delighted to accept this generous donation to the fund and it was a first class effort by the Interact Group to help us in our cause."
