Rialto, CA – Yesterday, the winner of 2018 California Mother of the Year – Mentone’s own Sarah Wolfgramm – was surprised with a “pop-up” party to celebrate her new “Mother of the Year” title at the Walmart Rialto Supercenter. The store worked closely with Sarah’s husband, Haini Wolfgramm, to make today’s event a success.

As Sarah and Haini walked through the doors of the grocery department, she was surprised by Rialto Walmart associates gathered together, ready to congratulate her with cupcakes, balloons, and a congratulatory gift basket for her many achievements and for having the most rewarding job of all: being a mother to 13 children.

Apart from managing her own Ambassador Catering and being a birthing specialist at the Loma Linda University Medical Center, Sarah spends her time teaching Sunday school, songwriting, singing and motivational speaking, according to the Redlands Daily Facts. Sarah was named the California Mother of the Year by the California chapter of American Mothers Inc. after competing for the title in Washington, D.C.

“Ultimately, every parent will find that no child is perfect. Neither is any parent,” Sarah told American Mothers, Inc. “The key is to foster so much love that our children know that regardless of the circumstances, they have a safe place with their parents, even if consequences ensue. I feel beyond blessed to have so many gifts with each one of my children. My hope is that they know that and act accordingly.”

To all the moms of the Inland Empire, thank you for all you for your community!
