SACRAMENTO --

Hundreds of people were in Howe Park in Arden on Friday night to search for hidden cash.

The same man behind last year's search at the Capitol Building in downtown Sacramento, as well as dozens of other locations in Northern California, also put on this event.

"That's why people say, ‘Why don't you give to charity,’ and I said ‘Yeah I give to charity, too,’” said Jason Buzi, the man who foot the bill for the event. “But when you do this, you bring people together in a fun way,"

Last year, he gave away around $60,000 of his own money at several hidden cash events, advertising where and when on Twitter, using the account @HiddenCash.

"I don't need, like, a bigger car or a newer car. I'm happy to do this. This is great," Buzi told FOX40.

Friday night's hidden cash is just the third one Buzi's done this year.

"People say, ‘Are you running out of money?’ No, I didn't run out of money. I was just running out of time," said Buzi.

Buzi said he hid about 26 containers all over Howe Park Friday night before 6 p.m., totaling more than $2,000. He knows his money is going to good causes.

"Somebody just told me they're going to give to a mental health charity," Buzi said.
