Women Who Howl At The Moon Ep. 10 Anja Notanja Sieger

Colleen DuVall connects with Deanna Savage ... Much of the conversation focuses on the annual gala fundraiser and the dozens of people that contributed to its success. But Deanna also opens up about what Savage Support means to her personally and the life fulfillment that she gets from its mission. 

A special treat is a studio version of local musician/singer/songwriter Annie B’s theme song for Savage Support. Annie approached the board with this very unique and generous donation earlier this year and performed the song live at the gala. She is a very special talent. Her song honors the work and beneficiaries of our organization like nothing else. I know that it’s often said: “Don’t miss it!” regarding the podcasts but really, I mean really, don’t miss this one.

Colleen DuVall connects with Annie Bzdawka ...

In this interview, Colleen connects with Annie B. one of Milwaukee's greatest musicians, and the writer, voice, and music behind, "We're in this Together" the soulful ballad dedicated to our beneficiaries. 

There is no doubt that music connects, heals, and inspires and this song is proof of that.
