As a food critic for the night, you'll cast your vote along with our esteemed panel of guest judges to determine the ultimate winners i

n our Savory, Sweet, and Sip categories. We are coming together to raise money and awareness to fight scleroderma, a chronic auto-immune disease where the body attacks its own tissue that affects over 300,000 Americans. Scleroderma literally means “hard skin” which can cause thickening and tightening of the skin. Your donation will assist the Rocky Mountain Chapter of the National Scleroderma Foundation to achieve its mission to advance medical research, promote disease awareness, and provide support and education to people living with scleroderma, their families, and support networks.

Nyla Maryboy: A voice for scleroderma.

Behind every fundraiser is a powerful, deeply personal story. We are profoundly grateful to Nyla Maryboy for bravely sharing her family’s decade-long journey with scleroderma, giving a vital human face to this complex disease.

Nyla's advocacy is rooted in a heartbreaking reality: her mother, Rosita,, who was passionate about cooking and food—a love inherited from her own mother who suffered from Lupus—battled scleroderma from 2013 until her passing in 2024.

Nyla recounts the relentless decline: "She battled many issues such as interstitial lung disease, Raynaud's, chronic cough, fatigue, shortness of breath, and much, much more." Despite struggling with her hands, Nyla’s mother remained dedicated to cooking, finding ways to buy appliances even when she struggled to use them.

Nyla's decision to share this personal, often private, story is a testament to her strength. It is a powerful reminder of why the Food Fight for Scleroderma exists. Nyla and her family are an integral part of our mission, turning grief into action and working to ensure others don't face this battle alone.

Thank you, Nyla, for your bravery, your dedication, and for inspiring us all to fight harder for research and education.
