Celebrating Food, Strength, and Stories

Get ready for a night of incredible food, stories and friendly competition! This year marks the 9th Annual Food Fight hosted by the Rocky Mountain Chapter. Each year, more than 100 people come together to celebrate local chefs and the strength of those living with scleroderma. Join us October 16 as up-and-coming local chefs and mixologists will compete to win the 2025 Food Fight Champion honors while raising support and awareness to fight scleroderma.

This exciting event offers food lovers and Foundation supporters the chance to mingle with top talents from Denver’s favorite establishments. Each participant enjoys delectable bites and creative cocktails while voting for the best competitor in the savory, sweet, and sip categories. A signature event for the Denver scleroderma community, this event annually raises more than $85,000 for the Denver scleroderma community.
