Emily Mayfield recapped the event, proudly sharing the $220,000 it raised.

"Closing out the week with one more recap and a big THANK YOU to everyone who supported our second annual BE the ball event, raising over $220,000. We are so excited that @elchillsborough will be the main beneficiary of this event and can’t wait to see how your support makes a difference in our community," the note read.

Her supporters are proud of the organization's rapid progress.

The funds raised by the Mayfield's benefit the Early Learning Coalition of Hillsborough County (ELCHC), another non-profit that works with families, providers and advocates to ensure quality early childhood education for families in Hillsborough County.

Studies show that 46% of Hillsborough County families live in poverty. The Mayfield fundraiser helps support these individuals.
