Marchelle L. Sellers is the co-founder of The Welcome Home (1997-2003), a hospitality house in Pasadena for families of children going through medical treatment nearby. The Welcome Home was acquired by Ronald McDonald House Charities in 2003 and was renamed the Pasadena Ronald McDonald House, where she served as Executive Director until 2008. In 2007, Marchelle was awarded Most Inspirational Executive Director of the Year by both the State Assembly and Senator's offices. She is a resident of South Pasadena, is a current member (since 2005) and past President of the South Pasadena Rotary Club (2013-2014) and in 2015 was awarded Rotarian of the Year. She is a past commissioner for the City of Pasadena's Accessibility & Disability Commission and is a current member of an Advisory Committee of Shriners Medical Center in Pasadena and of Vistage, a CEO mentorship group. Marchelle studied Public Policy & Management at the University of Southern California, and received her MBA from Ashford University. Four years ago, THE Magazine recognized Marchelle as one of the Top 50 Women in the San Gabriel Valley and three years ago Marchelle was awarded the Top Nonprofit Executive by Los Angeles Business Journal. Marchelle regularly speaks on executive leadership panels and has presented in front of hundreds of groups, also appearing on most major news stations, radio and local/nation print media. She is the mother of two sons, 18-year-old Graham and Reese. Her son Reese was born very premature and was challenged with many disabilities. He is now in heaven and is the absolute inspiration behind everything she does. His name is engraved in the South Pasadena Healing Garden, and the fully-accessible park in Pasadena developed by the Pasadena Accessibility Commission, is aptly named "Reese's Retreat" in his memory. After leading Burbank-based Mending Kids International (2009-2017), a global children's surgical charity, Marchelle, and her business partner Kathy Selders launched Charity On Top in 2016 to raise money for charities everywhere. marchelle / charityontop, com

Kathy Selders is the other co-founder of The Welcome Home (1997-2003), a hospitality house in Pasadena for families of children going through medical treatment nearby. Kathy served as Board President of The Welcome Home for many years up until the time it was acquired by Ronald McDonald House Charities in 2003 and renamed the Pasadena Ronald McDonald House. As a previous marriage and family therapist, with her Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology from Pepperdine, Kathy has always been passionate about helping families be their best selves. Fundraising and volunteering have always been at the core of everything she does. During her time as an undergraduate student at Cal State Fullerton, Kathy personally raised $1 million for the school's annual fund. As the Gala Co-Chair at Mending Kids, a global children's surgical charity, she raises hundreds of thousands each year to give children around the world a chance at a better life. Volunteering has become a family affair for Kathy and her family. Her husband Tim and their now 22-year-old daughter Cali provide a support system for Kathy to continue her volunteer efforts to make a difference. The three volunteered for Mending Kids in Guatemala where they helped coordinate 108 life-changing surgeries in just one week. Kathy has also given her time to Pasadena-based Peace and Justice Academy, Walden School, Elizabeth House, AYSO, and the National Association of Hospital Hospitality Houses, Destination Imagination and LifeSavers among other community organizations. She founded Charity On Top with her business partner Marchelle to connect gift giving with donating and philanthropy, bringing her knack for fundraising to over one million charities. kathy
