Can you believe this will be our 28th Reunion? Wow, where has the time gone?? Many changes are coming for this year's reunion. As you should know by now, we will be moving our main hotel from the Quality Inn to the Comfort Inn. Arrangements and accommodations are being worked out at this time. Mr. Pirko is working with the hotel and room assignments--READ YOUR D**** EMAILS!! Melissa Burton and Old Man Jay are working on the layout, the Hospitality Room setup, the PFUFA Store setup, locations for all, and all of the

As many of you know, our treasured Captain Dee-fense (Wes Henson) [Class of 2002] passed away on October 5, 2025 surrounded by his family. Wes was one of the pillars of our organization and will be deeply, deeply missed. The image above is one of the many ways the Baltimore Ravens' team and organization paid tribute to him. During the game on October 12th, Wes was also displayed on the jumbotron, and he was honored with a short bio on the team's social media platforms. Wes is leaving a very large hole in the hearts and stands of Baltimore. Wes was active in our organization for over two decades, he was our 'Sergeant of Arms' for our business meetings,

Welcome to our new website, PFUFA 7.0! We have made major updates, and this site will look and feel different. If you are viewing this site on a mobile device, you are seeing one of our updates. We have our mobile view back, and the mobile menu is also a fly-away menu. You no longer need to zoom in. Overall, we have also implemented a more 'contrasted view' that is easier on the eyes. We hope you explore this new site and enjoy! Here is a short list of changes to our new site: The Main Story section now has our stories linked so you can click and go to a longer article.

The "4 Star True Blue Arrow Salute Award" (Presidents Choice Award) is our our highest award. It is awarded to the member that best personified our Mission Statement during the previous year. This award was created in 2006 by then President Ron Rickard (Raider Ron) [Class of 2001], and it was named after the first three presidents. Originally, it was named the "4 Star True Blue Arrow Award" -- "4 Star" refers to Ron himself as one of his monikers was the General--in and out of the Black Hole, "True Blue" is Jerry Vecchia (True Blue) [Class of 1999], and "Arrow" is of course our founder Monte Short (Arrowman) [Class of 1999]. In 2019, the award was renamed

The Beardown J Courage Award was created in 2006 by then President Ron Rickard (Raider Ron) [Class of 2001], and it was specifically named after member Jason Carlson (Beardown J) [Class of 2004]. The award is given to the PFUFA member that throughout the previous year has personified Honor & Courage and Inspired our membership through a displayed of our mission statement in their day-to-day lives. Jason was a Bears fan since birth, he fought Childhood Diabetes, he dealt with multiple organ transplants, and he supported his Bears every day of his life. Always smiling, he pushed through three kidney transplants and became legally blind in 1991 after kidney failure. Despite taking nearly 40 pills a

The "Golden Hog Award" is the one award we present that was not created by our third president. Instead, this award was created by our Board of Directors in 2012/2013 to honor the great Washington Redskins Hogettes and their historic charitable contributions. It is awarded to the PFUFA member in recognition of his/her activities in the community throughout the year that go above and beyond the conventional definition of charity that is "the practice of giving and caring" and also displayed our mission statement in their day-to-day lives. The Hogettes started in 1983, and those dress-wearing fans that have been members of our organization from the beginning with Mike Tolbert (Boss Hogette) [Class of 1999]. In

The Bellringer Friendship Award was created in 2006 by then President Ron Rickard (Raider Ron) [Class of 2001], and it was specifically named after member Tommy Nola [Class of 2003]. This award is given to the PFUFA member that throughout the previous year has personified Friendship and Hospitality towards our membership and also displayed our mission statement in their day-to-day lives. Why is it named after Tommy? The answer is surprisingly simple: Have you've been to Buffalo game and were hosted by Tommy? Tommy is by far, the shortest in our organization, but he has the largest heart. The phrase "giving the shirt off your back" doesn't even begin to cover it. He would literally give you

Monte Short (Arrowman) was a member of the inaugural Class of 1999 of our organization, was honored by the "Visa Hall of Fans" as the Kansas City Chiefs Ultimate Fan in January 1999, and was inducted into the Pro Football's Ultimate Fan Association "Ring of Honor" in 2014. He is the first living member to receive this honor.

In January 1999, the first class was selected and the 31 winners were brought to the Hall of Fame for a ceremony. The media was on hand for the presentations. During subsequent class selections, fans were inducted in the same manner, but had to provide their own transportation to the Hall.... (more...)

HOW CAN I JOIN?

The single most asked question to a any member of the PFUFA is, “How can I join your organization?”

Pro Football's Ultimate Fan Association (PFUFA) does not accept 'volunteers.’ Our organization was founded by fans that were chosen and inducted into the Visa “Hall of Fans” in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Since then, we have set ourselves apart from other fan organizations by limiting our membership.

In 2007, we decided to change the By-Laws of our organization and the PFUFA Draft was established. The Inaugural PFUFA Draft was held (more...)
