Dear Mrs. Kelly,
Congratulations! World Figure Sport has been selected by Toller International as a recipient of the Toller 50 No One Rises Alone Award. This award recognizes that no one succeeds without support and guidance along the way—no one makes it to the podium without help.
Founded in 2024, Toller International is dedicated to preserving, promoting, and sharing the legacy of Toller Cranston, CM, OLY, LLD. Marking the fiftieth anniversary of his Olympic bronze medal in Innsbruck, the Toller 50 No One Rises Alone Award recognizes the significant role played by key builders and influencers who nurtured and supported Toller on his journey to Olympic and artistic success. The award also acknowledges those, like World Figure Sport, who continue to guide and inspire young talent. Toller International is proud to award this honour.
As a recipient, you, and your location in Lake Placid, join a select group that holds a unique place in the legacy of Toller Cranston. Toller was much more than an Olympic medalist. He was a pioneer, an innovator, and an artist who forever changed how the world experienced creativity—not only on the ice but in the studio. His personal mission was to inspire others to be brave, to chase their destiny, and to never give up. More than a decade after he passed away, these values continue to motivate young talent to express themselves fully, and to chase their dreams without compromise.
Throughout 2026, Toller 50 will highlight Toller’s enduring impact through events, exhibitions, performances, and tributes. On behalf of Toller International, we thank you for the encouragement, and inspiration you provide. Together, we celebrate not only Toller’s achievements, but also the community of support in Lake Placid that helped shape this journey and continues to change lives.
With gratitude and admiration,
Phillippa Cranston Baran, Founder and Director
Donna Child, Director of Art and Legacy
