About Our Mother of the Year...

The Journey from being born in a Salvation Army hospital to spending a short time in foster care and being adopted by a wonderful family has had a positive impact on Dianne Dain Callister's life.  For the past 25 years she and her husband, Steve have raised 4 children and now enjoy having their first granddaughter.  Dianne has served on multiple PTA and various other community boards.  She founded White Wings and Silver Strings, a non-profit organization that brings music to the inner-city children of Los Angeles.  She currently serves as President and Executive Director of The Singer Foundation, directing funds to programs impacting children internationally.  Dianne created the program Project GIVE, which educates and funds student-driven service for middle-school students nationwide.  Dianne's love for humanity is shown in her words to her own children, "If you want to be happy, just make the world a better place".
