Sushi Party Hosted by Kazi Alward-HAMMERS & HARDHATS LIVE AUCTION

ABOUT THE HAMMERS AND HARDHATS LIVE AUCTION
This exclusive package will only be available during the live auction at Hammers and Hardhats on September 18. Learn more about our event here. If you can’t attend but would like to set up proxy bidding, contact [email protected]. For more information on proxy bidding, please see below.

A beloved Women Build tradition returns to this year’s Hammers and Hardhats fundraiser, thanks to longtime supporter and 2016 Women Build co-honoree, Kazi Alward. Kazi is opening her Iowa City home to host an unforgettable evening of sushi-making and fun.
Guests will be welcomed with wine and light snacks before joining Kazi in the kitchen to prep fresh ingredients. With tools, utensils, and all supplies provided, Kazi will demonstrate the art of rolling sushi—a skill she learned from watching her mother. Then it’s your turn to create custom rolls with the fillings of your choice before sitting down to enjoy the delicious results together. 

The meal is rounded out with traditional accompaniments—miso soup, sake, and pickled ginger—followed by a sweet finish of mochi ice cream with coffee or tea. Guests will take home any leftovers, along with their own sushi rolling mat, a perfect keepsake to help them practice their new skills.

Guests pick their favorite sushi roll fillings:

• Fish
• Deep Fried Shrimp
• Bulgogi Beef
• Imitation Crab
• Smoked Salmon
• Eggs
• Cucumber
• Carrots
• Avocado
• Sweet potato
• Asparagus
• Cream Cheese
• Spinach
• Mango

*The date and time for the party must be arranged with Kazi Alward and are subject to her availability.
