Redmond High School's Bridge to Self Sufficiency Club is hosting a bookfair in Bellevue to raise money for Haiti relief.

The event takes place March 27 at the downtown Barnes & Noble bookstore, located at 626 106th Ave. NE.

All money from the bookfair will go toward earthquake-relief efforts in Haiti. Barnes & Noble will also donate a percentage of all sales made with bookfair vouchers that day.

Vouchers are available online at the school district's website .

Redmond's Bridge to Self Sufficiency Club works with Esperanza International, a non-profit dedicated to freeing children and their families from poverty. The group also regularly donates funds for microfinancing in the Dominican Republic and Haiti.

Additional information on the bookfair is available by contacting egillilang@lwsd.org or crm1915@bn.com.
