"I don't get jerseys with names on the back because I'm a fan of the whole team, not just one player,"
"I don't care about stats. If you can't win the game, then why do the stats matter?"
"They told me that they wanted to talk to me about a women's group in Gate C and if I knew where that was. I walked into the room before the game started, and the reaction was kind of weird when I went in. They were all excited,"
"Then these two ladies walk in with a flip chart, asking me all these questions and how I can maybe improve the area for kids and women."
Donna Bettencourt owns about a dozen San Francisco 49ers uniforms in her Vallejo home and buys jerseys without names to show support for the whole team. She says team success matters more than individual statistics. Bettencourt received a No. 25 jersey labeled "Fan of the Year" and a matching jacket after being named the 49ers' 2025 Fan of the Year. She is one of 32 team honorees and will represent the 49ers at Levi's Stadium for the Super Bowl. Bettencourt will attend with her sister Dian Olson and learned of the honor at an October home game after being asked about improving areas for kids and women.
