Toys for Tickets

The Toys for Tickets event has returned for 2025. Toys for Tickets is in its ninth year running a successful toy collection for children. BGSU Parking Services will dismiss any parking citation issued from October 1, 2025, through December 1, 2025, in exchange for a new toy with a receipt that is of equal or greater value than the citation. A receipt is required for the toy to be accepted.

Toys must be delivered to BGSU Parking Services before the end of day December 12, 2025 and must be of equal or greater value than the citation(s).  Toys will be donated to Wood County Children’s Protective Services and Wood County Childrens Resource Center. Toys will also be accepted from those without citations. The 2025 Toys for Tickets event will end the last day of finals or when the equivalent of $5,000 in toys has been received.  

Citations received for vehicle boots, forged or illegal permits, and those for parking in a handicap space do not qualify.
