MEGAComfort Adds Team Category to Hardest Worker Contest

"Walking a mile in the shoes of a hard worker is no easy task," said Dr. Kevan Orvitz, Podiatrist and Tustin, Calif.-based MEGAComfort's founder. "We created this contest to honor the nation's hardest workers that represent the essence of the Labor Day holiday and to highlight the importance of worker appreciation.

MEGAComfort®, a leader in ergonomically designed anti-fatigue insoles and orthotics, is celebrating America's work ethic by offering its second annual Hardest Worker Contest & Sweepstakes and tying it in with Labor Day. The company's announcement said it was "humbled by the overwhelming number of nominations received last year, and the stories candidly shared of sacrifice, dedication, and working through tough times [and] heroes from across the country."

Because of this, MEGAComfort has added a team category and increased the value of the grand prize this year. The hardest-working person will receive $2,000 and 20 MEGAComfort insoles, and the hardest-working team will receive $4,000 with each team member receiving five insoles.

"Walking a mile in the shoes of a hard worker is no easy task," said Dr. Kevan Orvitz, Podiatrist and Tustin, Calif.-based MEGAComfort's founder. "We created this contest to honor the nation's hardest workers that represent the essence of the Labor Day holiday and to highlight the importance of worker appreciation. We learned from last year's nominations that hard work truly stems from passion and love. We're excited to shine a spotlight on the people who represent Labor Day's core values and inspire their friends, family, and local communities."

"From night-shift nurses and meticulous mechanics to creative chefs and brave officers, hard workers come in all different forms," said Orvitz. "If you know of an exceptionally hard worker or hard-working team, make sure to nominate them!"
