Later in 1986, there was a planning meeting around the big dining room table at the MAP office, including (by some recollections) Tom Boll, Steve Bahr, likely Steve Steinhauer and John Luedtke, and probably a few others. It was decided to hold a formal dinner and fundraiser called 'Make a Promise', to share the 'MAP' acronym of the parent agency, the 'Milwaukee AIDS Project'. The planning meetings resulted in a dinner and show held at the Wisconsin Club, which is what is referred to as the first annual event called "Make a Promise". (Articles in 1991 and 1992 state that "Tom Boll... created the concept of Make A Promise".)
