A special screening of Toy Story 3, the animated Disney Pixar film, will be held at Clearview Cinemas in Red Bank to benefit children in need. Hosted by Bridge of Books, a non-profit organization that brings books to children who otherwise could not afford them or do not have access to them, this special event promises to be a good time for the entire family.
The fun-filled event will include face painting, games and goody bags, plus a ticket auction. The morning will culminate with a special screening of the Toy Story 3 featuring movie favorites Woody and Buzz. After the toys are mistakenly delivered to a day-care center instead of the attic right before Andy leaves for college, it’s up to Woody to save the day. The film captures the emblematic nature of Bridge of Books with its ability to enchant and engage children of every age.
Donations of new and gently used children’s books are welcome at the event.

The Bridge of Books Foundation was established in 2003 in New Jersey and is devoted to providing books to underprivileged and at-risk children, to support literacy and encourage a love of reading. The organization's name is derived from the belief that a book, like a bridge, captures children’s imaginations, taking them to new places, and through literacy, to new heights.
