PRESS RELEASE

The Seminole Tribe of Florida received the 2014 Corporate Social Responsibility Award at the recent National Conference on Problem Gambling, the oldest national conference on problem gambling in the world.

Accepting the award from Keith Whyte, Executive Director, National Council on Problem Gambling, was Seminole Tribe of Florida'sGaming Commission Chairman Allen D. Huff. Also at the presentation was John Fontana, President of Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa, who serves on the Florida Council on Compulsive Gambling's (FCCG) Board of Directors.

The Seminole Tribe of Florida was nominated for the Corporate Social Responsibility Award by the FCCG. The award is given to an organization that has demonstrated an outstanding commitment to social responsibility as it relates to problem gambling in the past year. Additionally, the award recipient must have exhibited leadership and commitment to going above and beyond in aiding the problem gambling community by funding treatment and assuring therapeutic support to those in need of assistance.

For more than a decade, the Seminole Tribe of Florida has been the largest voluntary contributor to the FCCG and has been a strong supporter of the organization. In 2010, as part of the compact agreement with the state, the Seminole Tribe of Florida agreed to provide $1.75 million in funding for compulsive gambling treatment and services in the State of Florida. As a result, this has enabled the FCCG to develop and implement a statewide treatment program which provides free treatment for problem gamblers and those adversely affected by gambling.
