Cumberland is excited to announce the launch of our brand refresh. Enhancements include modernization of our name, logo, and website. We expect our new website to launch this summer. Over time we will be transitioning our name from The Cumberland Insurance Group to Cumberland Mutual. You will continue to receive the same great service Cumberland has provided for over 175 years. We‘re still the same company dedicated to providing our policyholders with peace of mind and protection that fulfills their ever changing needs through a commitment to profitability, financial stability, excellent customer experience and professionalism.

On April 30th, Big I New Jersey raised $22,000 for Make-A-Wish New Jersey at the annual Trusted Choice Charity Golf Outing. The 18-hole shotgun start event had 100 golfers competing for various contests at the beautiful Forsgate Country Club. Tess Badenhausen and Sheri Kirkpatrick from Make-A-Wish New Jersey joined us for dinner alongside Wish Mom Cheri. Cheri took to the podium to share details from her daughter Evelyn’s trip to Disney World.

The Cumberland Insurance Group participated once again as the event’s Title Sponsor and Glenn Watkins, Cumberland’s VP of Marketing, was in attendance. “The Cumberland Insurance Group is thrilled to be able to support Make-A-Wish New Jersey in their mission to create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. We look forward to this event each year as it brings together industry friends to enjoy a round of golf while raising funds for this very worthy cause.”

On March 30th, 2019, Paul J. Ritter, President and CEO of Cumberland Mutual, was honored as a 2019 Cumberland County Legend. This event recognizes those individuals who have passionately served the community making a lasting impact throughout Cumberland County.
