siggi’s Debuts the PT-YO Challenge to Help Consumers Use Up PTO

— July 15, 2025 — World
Despite growing awareness of the importance of work-life balance, a staggering 62% of Americans still don’t use all of their paid time off each year. As a result, siggi's is challenging that status quo with the launch of the PT-YO Challenge.

The PT-YO Challenge invites individuals to finally prioritize rest by pledging to use every last PTO day before the year ends. In return, siggi’s is offering one lucky participant a $5,000 cash prize and a flight voucher to jump-start their dream vacation. To enter, consumers must share what’s been holding them back from taking time off and why they're doing so now. The winning participant will be able to experience the vacation of a lifetime with siggi's help.


Entries for the PT-YO Challenge are now open.
