Board of Directors

Shawn Logan

Executive Director | Founder

Shawn Logan is the Father of three sons and has been married almost a decade.  He has lived throughout California, Nevada, Utah and Colorado.  Shawn has worked in marketing and business development most of his career.  He has an entrepreneur spirit, having started, owned and sold a handful of companies. This spirit led him to start the Kawasaki Kids Foundation after his son Cooper was diagnosed with the number one acquired heart disease in children, Kawasaki Disease.  Experiencing the devastating but preventable consequences of this disease drove him to make a difference in the cardiac community.  He has put his efforts to raise money for research, for families affected by Kawasaki Disease and to create greater awareness in both the medical and household communities. Since the Foundation’s inception, the efforts of the Kawasaki Kids Foundation have resulted in at least 12 children receiving a timely diagnosis.  Shawn hopes that through these dedicated efforts, the cause and cure for Kawasaki Disease will be discovered.
