Irvine’s Habit Burger raises more than $4K for nonprofits

Irvine’s new Habit Burger Grill helped raise more than $4,000 for three area nonprofits at fundraisers Sunday and Monday, a news release said.

The Habit helped raise $1,341 for the Muscular Dystrophy Assn. of Orange County and Inland Empire, $1,991 for the Irvine High School Athletics Booster Club and $964 for Share Our Strength.

All proceeds from three separate meals benefited the nonprofits, according to an earlier release.

The restaurant, which officially opened last week at 14474 Culver Drive, is the chain’s 68th location. It is also the Habit’s first location in Irvine, though the company is based there.
