PRNewswire -- Morton’s Restaurant Group, Inc. (NYSE: MRT) announced today that its Morton’s steakhouses raised $374,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation through a yearlong campaign that was the single largest charitable initiative in Morton’s 30-year history. Morton’s campaign essentially tripled its original fundraising goal of $125,000 to help the Make-A-Wish Foundation grant the wishes of more than 50 children with life-threatening medical conditions. The campaign was called “30 Wishes for 30 Years” in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the very first Morton’s steakhouse, which Morton’s co-founders Arnie Morton and Klaus Fritsch opened on State Street in Chicago in 1978.
