The American Cancer Society (ACS) awards the prestigious Five Star Investor title to businesses active in fighting cancer on multiple fronts through the ACS at Work program. We maintain our Five Star Commitment through year-long participation, awareness generation and employee engagement.

Deemed Rebels by TNG CEO Larry Gaynor for an innovative approach to leading the industry and community, TNG employees earn ACS’s respect for unending support as “Rebels for the Cure”.

"We all have been touched by cancer and need to learn what we can do to live healthier lives to lower our risk," says Gaynor. "Partnering with the American Cancer Society does that for us. The Nailco Group is very proud to be a Five Star Investor with ACS. We believe can raise awareness, change lives, and most of all, make a difference.”
