IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO DESIGN 
NEXT YEARS FLOAT.

TOR President Ratliff announced “Echoes of Success” as the 
theme for the 128th Rose Parade. “Echoes of Success” celebrates 
those people, organizations and institutions that play a part in the 
stories of the success of others,” shared Ratliff. “Success cannot be 
achieved alone. It takes the support, dedication, compassion and 
love of many others to help in finding that satisfaction of success. 
Family, friends and teachers contribute selflessly and tirelessly to 
the success of many. These influences in our lives, these people 
of selfless commitment, these Echoes of Success make us who we 
are.” 

The 2017 Rose Parade and Rose Bowl Game tells the story of how 
our character has developed through the selfless contributions of 
others and celebrates their inspirational gifts. Our successes are 
unique to each of us. Success is not gauged by the final score, not 
by how much wealth we accumulate and should not be weighed 
against the accomplishments of others. 

Success is measured by our own personal satisfaction in knowing 
that we achieved our utmost by doing our best. 

Your daughter’s first piano recital. 

A Special Olympian crossing the finish line. 

A wounded warrior’s first steps. 

All are examples of success. 

But success cannot be achieved alone. We need the support and 
influences of others. Family, teachers, friends, organizations and 
coaches contribute to our success. Music, art and education further 
inspire our success. Theses echoes help make us who we are. 
Americas New Year Celebration for 2017 celebrates those people 
and institutions that have been instrumental in helping each of 
us and in helping others achieve success. It’s about the people and 
cultures that lend us a hand in reaching our destination.

So get your pencil to paper and submit a design.
