Toys for Tickets is Back at UC
For the sixth year, University of Cincinnati students, faculty and staff are able to convert their parking tickets into the gift of giving. Toys for Tots, a top-rated national charity, provides toys, books and other gifts for less fortunate children in local communities. In collaboration with the Toys for Tots Foundation, UCs Parking Services will be accepting Toys for Tickets donations on main campus.
How it works: Parking Services will dismiss any outstanding, on-campus parking tickets in exchange for Toys for Tots donations. To have your parking ticket dismissed, stop by the Parking Services office in 4 Edwards Center with your new toy donation along with the accompanying receipt. The toy receipt must be equal to or greater than the total of your parking ticket(s). Donations will be accepted now through Dec. 8.
Dont have a ticket? Parking Services welcomes all donations to Toys for Tots, with or without tickets! Plus, get a $5 discount on a Fast Pass when donating without a citation! Non-citation donations will be accepted at the MainStreet Connection Center on Level 3 of TUC, or at the Parking Services Office. TUC donors will need to redeem their Fast Pass discount at the Parking Services office.
