Morton’s The Steakhouse is celebrating its 30th anniversary with a commitment to raise $125,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation®. This is the largest charitable initiative in the company’s history and will make it possible to grant the wishes of 30 children who are living with life-threatening medical conditions.

Every Sunday through September, Morton’s guests will have a chance be involved with these charitable efforts while indulging in the “$19.78 Million Dollar Make-A-Wish Prime Sirloin Burger,” with a portion of the proceeds going to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

This isn't just any hamburger —it’s the burger that started it all at Morton’s. When Morton’s co-founders Klaus Fritsch and Arnie Morton first worked together at the Playboy Club, Fritsch made his signature hamburger and sent it out for Arnie Morton to taste. Morton proclaimed it the best hamburger he’d ever tasted. From that day, they started the business partnership that has become Morton’s The Steakhouse.

As part of its yearlong celebration, Morton’s has launched its 30 Wishes for 30 Years Web site at www.mortons.com/30wishes. The site shares wishes from Make-A-Wish children, allows Morton's guests to share their own memories over the past 30 years and provides ways for people to contribute to the 30 Wishes for 30 Years program.

Morton’s The Steakhouse is located at 2501 E. Camelback Road. For more information, call 602-955-9577.
