About Kawasaki Kids Foundation

Hi, my name is Cooper

I am a Kawasaki Disease survivor!

Cooper, known as DJ Lil Coop, is a young fighter and inspiration who uses his passion for music to spread positivity and hope. Diagnosed with Kawasaki Disease as a child, Cooper faced health challenges early on that shaped his resilience and outlook on life.

In April 2024, he underwent a life-saving kidney transplant—a milestone that marked a new chapter in his journey. Despite these challenges, Cooper’s love for music has been a constant source of strength and joy, driving him to share his talents as a DJ at events that bring people together for fun and meaningful causes.

Cooper is not just a DJ; he’s a symbol of perseverance and the power of community. Whether he's behind the turntables or raising awareness for Kawasaki Disease and organ donation, DJ Lil Coop is committed to making a difference, one beat at a time.
