Haliey Welch, famously known as the “Hawk Tuah Girl,” has been gaining attention not only for her catchphrase but also for her recent charitable aspirations.
Recently, Welch organized a lively event at the popular Memory Motel pop-up in the East Village, drawing significant interest.
Welch, who has reportedly earned substantial amounts for her public appearances, such as $30,000 from the Memory Motel event alone, is considering using her income for charitable causes, particularly focusing on “animals and providing pizza to the homeless.”
An insider mentioned to Page Six, “Haliey expressed her intention at the event to give back.”
Rising Prominence
In addition to her recent appearances at the Ugly Duckling in Long Beach and Bull Smith’s Tavern in Smithtown, contributing to her visibility and earnings.
During the event, Welch discussed her plans to be more generous with her wealth. She also teased the idea of starting her own podcast, adding another layer to her expanding brand.
The event showcased Welch being surrounded by fans seeking photos and autographs, with ticket prices ranging from $45 to $55. Her journey to fame began with a quirky street interview with Tim & Dee TV, where her distinctive advice rapidly went viral: “You gotta give ’em that ‘hawk tuah’ and spit on that thang.”
Building on her newfound fame, Welch collaborated with Fathead Threads based in Tennessee to sell “Hawk Tuah” merchandise, generating an impressive $65,000. Her success also captured the interest of Penthouse management firm, with whom she has inked a deal.
