Westfield Insurance Foundation’s Legacy of Caring Fund

Benefits Cumberland University

Lebanon, TN, 06/05/2017, -- Cumberland University received a grant from Westfield Insurance Foundation thanks to the help of THW Insurance Services, LLC.  The grant is part of the Westfield Legacy of Caring program, which invites Westfield independent insurance agents to nominate a local nonprofit in the areas of disaster recovery, insurance pathways, family stability or safety.  

“Thanks to the generous donation from Westfield Insurance Foundation, we can increase our efforts toward scholarship funding for Family Stability said Cumberland University.

“We have strong relationships with our agents, and we value the important role they play in their communities,” said Ed Largent, Westfield President, CEO, board chair and Westfield Insurance Foundation chairman.   “Our agents help provide peace of mind and security, and the Legacy of Caring fund is an extension of the fundamental role insurance plays every day stabilizing families, businesses and communities.” 

“THW Insurance Services and its employees are proud members of the Lebanon, Wilson County community.  Our collaboration with Westfield allows us to further our citizenship efforts and have impact in critically important initiatives,” said Rick Thorne.

Cumberland University is one of 78 nonprofits nationwide receiving a Westfield Legacy of Caring grant – collectively totaling nearly $550,000.  Westfield is proud to work with their independent agents in distributing nearly $1.3 million since the onset of the Legacy of Caring program in 2015.
