SUSHI SHOWDOWN
APICA’S ANNUAL SUSHI SHOWDOWN
Sushi Showdown is an annual fundraising event hosted by the Asian Pacific Islander Capitol Association (APICA)
Sushi Showdown provides the financial support for APICA to continue building and strengthening the AANHPI and SWANA Capitol staff community through programs, such as our annual Summer Fellowship Program, which brings paid interns to the Capitol each year to provide young professionals the opportunity to develop work experience in Sacramento and expands our pipeline of AANHPI and SWANA staff.
Sushi Showdown is an opportunity to build community, recognize champions, and compete in a sushi eating contest!
2024 SUSHI SHOWDOWN RECAP
We had an incredible time at our 2024 Sushi Showdown! A huge thanks to everyone who joined us for an evening of friendly competition, delicious sushi, and community spirit. From rolls of sushi to rolling out laughter, the energy was unbeatable!
We were happy to host YOU in the beautiful Tsakopoulos Library Galleria. Because of you, we are able to raise crucial funds for APICA’s Fellowship Program, which empowers the next generation of AAPI leaders. Every dollar raised from Sushi Showdown goes toward creating opportunities for our fellows to learn, grow, and make a difference in our communities.
