WCSX-FM/Detroit morning host Big Jim from "Big Jim's House" will drive 27 hours on a rockin' road trip from Detroit to Minnesota to raise $50,000 to benefit Gleaners Food Bank with help from legendary rock recording artist Bob Seger. He'll drive a Chevy truck (provided by Chevrolet) from Detroit to the North Star Bar in Minnesota where Bob Seger reportedly stopped and had a drink in his song, entitled "Roll Me Away."

Big Jim will leave for Minnesota on Thursday, July 23rd and upon his return to the Motor City, Bob Seger and Chevrolet will make a $50,000 donation to Gleaners Food Bank of Detroit.

"I've always wondered where Bob stopped for a beer in the song, 'Roll Me Away,' now we know," said Big Jim. "So, taking a road trip in a Chevy truck to the North Star Bar in Rochester, Minnesota feels more like a pilgrimage! And the fact that Bob Seger and Chevrolet are backing up this effort with a 50k donation to Gleaners Food Bank makes it even more important to "get it right!"

The $50,000 donation will be used to provide 150,000 meals for families in Southeastern Michigan.
