CedarStone Bank has been in the Lebanon and Wilson County area for more than 10 years. The bank has a proud and long-standing tradition of maintaining close relationships with the clients and the communities it serves. Bob McDonald, the president/CEO of CedarStone Bank also sits on the Cumberland University board of trust as chairman.
Wilson County Motors is an award winning automotive dealership that has been serving the community since 1927. Along with being committed to delivering outstanding customer service and satisfaction to customers, the Bone family have deep roots in the community. Winstead Paine Bone was the sixth president of Cumberland University (1909-1914), and his great-grandson, Winstead Paine Bone III, currently serves as a member of the CU board of trust.
“CedarStone Bank is honored to help celebrate this year’s Phoenix Ball,” said McDonald. “Cumberland is a true asset to our community and this event is a wonderful opportunity to showcase all our university has to offer.”
Bone added, “Cumberland’s heritage has shaped not just the lives of countless graduates but also the United States. And while many statesmen and even Supreme Court Justices have been shaped at the university, the future is even brighter. We have almost 2,000 full-time students heralding from 30 states and 29 countries. We have 180 of the finest faculty anywhere. Cumberland is a true leader in academics, athletics, ethics, and culture. It’s impact on our community cannot be overstated.”
Only three sponsorships remain available. For information on how you or your organization can become a sponsor please contact Ms. Camille Burdine 615-547-1241 or cburdine@cumberland.edu.
