LEGENDS

In August 2026, Candice Chifici (Go Go) [Class of 2008] was honored by being inducted into the VERY FIRST class of the Pro Football Ultimate Fan Association LEGENDS. She was one of three members to receive this honor. In reality thought, she had put herself into a Legend status long before the category was ever created.

 

Candice was a member of the inaugural Draft Class of 2008, and she quickly established herself as a “go to” member. She never turned down an ask from leadership or the organization and was quickly elected to office. Candice was the first member of the Class of 2008 to be elected an Officer for PFUFA.

 

Candice served as Treasurer from 2009 until 2010. During her time in office, she established PFUFA’s non-profit 501.c7 status. This was no minor undertaking, and she worked directly with all levels of the government to get this done. A year before taking office, our organization had to exist as a D.B.A (Doing Business As) based on our de-organization in the State of California. However, she was able to set the cornerstone of our organization, and we have not looked back since.

 

For her efforts as Treasurer, Candice was awarded the "4 Star True Blue Arrow Salute Award" Presidents Choice Award in 2010.

 

As stated above, Candice was our first “Draft Selected” member to become President. The story behind that election will simply be referred to as the “Great Kidnapping.” In summary, the organization was teetering on the edge of a huge cliff, and past leadership acted decisively. They specifically sought her out and asked Candice to run for President. Though she was hesitant, she did run and won by the largest margin ever recorded.

 

Candice served as President from 2010 to 2013. During her time as Madam President, she took on two hard issues: Resolving an organizational tax issue and exercising the newly created Termination of Membership clause in the By Laws.  Both items required stern leadership and a “no-nonsense” approach, and both were solved in short order.

 

In 2013, Candice was awarded the Jason “Beardown J” Carlson Courage Award for her integrity and sterling example as she battled health problems that would eventually require her to step down from office.

 

Since stepping down, Candice has taken personal time to regroup, and she is recovering. Even though she could not attend ever reunion, she has continued to answer the call when asked.  Leadership has just made sure, though, to only ask sparingly.  

 

Pro Football’s Ultimate Fan Association has benefited greatly from Candice’s membership, dedication, and distinguished excellence. She is admired by all, and Candice Chifici is a LEGEND.
