In 2010 Tayari was at it again! Starting Saturday, October 9th, 2010, Tayari pitched his tent outside at Liberty Station near Starbucks. He slept in the streets for 2 weeks and raised approximately $5K. Tayari's Homeless Stand" was the kick-off to The Trinity House 4th Annual SleepOutSaturday (SOS) to Benefit the Homeless.
