Sammie Weller, 16, who attends Eastbourne Academy was named Young Citizen of the Year by Darlington Partnership last year for voluntary work she does with St John Ambulance, Darlington Youth Service and UNICEF.
She organised her first charity Tux and Gowns ball for the ward in 2007 which raised more than £1,450.
This year the event will be held on August 1 at Blackwell Grange Hotel.
Sammie said: “The first ball last year was a fantastic event and we were delighted with the amount of money raised. This year I’m hoping the event will be bigger and better – I hope to double last year’s total.”
Tickets for the ball are £10, available on-line at www.freewebs.com/tuxandgowns
