BGSU’s Parking Services has announced the return of the Toys for Tickets program, starting Nov. 8 until Dec. 9, Parking Services will dismiss citations in exchange for a new toy in its original packaging.
Anyone who chooses to participate in Toys for Tickets must bring the toy to the Parking Office, along with a receipt. The toy brought into the office must be similar in value to the amount listed on the citation, otherwise, it will not qualify. Additionally, forged or illegal permits and citations received for parking in a handicapped space do not qualify for this program.
Having a citation is not a requirement for this campaign; any student, staff, faculty or community member is able to bring their donations to the Parking Office. Any and all donations will be accepted as long as the toys are new, undamaged and in their original package.
The toys will be donated to Wood County Children’s Protective Services and the Wood County Children’s Resource Center to provide children with gifts for the upcoming holiday season. The program will end on the last day of finals week, or when an equivalent of $5,000 in toys has been received through Parking Services.
