The Monsignor Joseph Dunne Lifetime Award for Advocacy is given in recognition of career dedication to improving the lives of problem gamblers and their families through advocacy, research, training, or the promotion of public awareness. The Advocacy Award is only bestowed in exceptional times and circumstances to individuals who exemplify at least twenty years of advocacy on behalf of problem gamblers.

Congratulations to the 2017 Recipient of

The Monsignor Joseph Dunne Lifetime Award for

Advocacy

Don Feeney

An advisor to the Governor of Minnesota, Don began working for the Minnesota State Lottery and rose to Director of Research and Planning and became the leading lottery advocate for responsible gaming. He served on the NCPG Board of Directors for 13 years, including as President. He was instrumental in launching Minnesota’s Northstar Problem Gambling Alliance affiliate and continues to serve on the Northstar Board. Through his calm, measured approach Don was able to literally move an entire industry forward.
