The Shauna Kavanagh Foundation is named after Kavanagh’s daughter Shauna, who died at the age of 30 in October 2017 from cystic fibrosis (CF).
Kavanagh is chairman and a director of the charity with his son Dylan and fellow Olive director Marcus Hammond.
The charity raises funds to provide financial support for CF patients. Dylan Kavanagh won Bray Person of the Year in 2025 for his work as the charity’s chief executive.
