Thank You for 50 Years In Radio

Donation protected

Our father, Dr. William Tayari Howard has offically retired after 50 years in Broadcasting! His parents were black pioneers in radio broadcasting and our father is a pioneer too.

**Our dad has given so much of himself to the San Diego community.  We feel a monetary gift would be nice since we can’t have an actual celebration party where he could receive presents.  We are asking, for people that appreciate his work and contributions to the radio industry, the black community, and San Diego city to make a donation to our $50, Thank You For 50 Years fundraiser to Mr. San Diego himself. 

Who remembers:
~"Shake Your Body With Tayari" - 92.5 FM
~"Quiet Storm" - 90.3 FM
~Smooth Jazz - 98.1 FM
~Encanto Jazz & Street Fair
~Black Santa Clause Flown Into the Black Community at for years
~Official parade announcer for the MLK parade in San Diego for 39 yrs
~Students on Saturday's (SOS)  - First High School radio program in the 80's in San Diego taught by our father.
~Collectively our dad has mentored and graduated over 150 students in the radio broadcasting field and some of these students broadcast their own podcast shows as of today.
~Tayari's $10 Grand Homeless Stand - My father slept outside, day and night, for 7 days, to raise money for the homeless in San Diego....and so much more.

Please upload a video message you would like to share with William Tayari Howard. Your message can be a simple thank you or you can share any reflections you have of my dad and his work. Feel free to upload pictures you have of our dad during his radio broadcasting and community service career.  https://www.facebook.com/groups/362504071489027
