PITTSFIELD, MA – Berkshire Bank, America's Most Exciting Bank®, announced the winner of the Exciting Rewind Mortgage Giveaway for veterans. As the official bank of NESN's Boston Bruins coverage, Berkshire Bank will pay a veteran's mortgage payment for a year. The contest, partnered with NESN, for this promotion began on January 1 and concluded on March 17, 2018.

The winner of The Exciting Rewind is Keith Cosimini of West Springfield, MA. Cosimini spent much of his career as an army specialist. As the winner, he will be awarded $12,000 to pay his mortgage for the year. The giveaway was extended to active military members and eligible veterans, serving as an extension of the dedication of Berkshire Bank to the servicemen and servicewomen of our country.

When asked of how he felt about winning the Exciting Rewind giveaway, "I couldn't believe that I won when I got the call. I had recently opened an account with Berkshire bank and saw the contest on NESN's website and said ‘why not?' We have our first child due very soon so this couldn't have come at a better time."

The Exciting Rewind Mortgage Sweepstakes consisted of a breakdown of the top plays throughout the season and was featured during every Bruin's game on NESN. Viewers were encouraged to watch and vote online for their favorite Berkshire Bank Exciting Rewind segment at NESN.com/BerkshireBank to be entered for a chance to win.
