Question
Hi im new to this forum, but i was hope to get some answers out of this. im looking to hold amateur event in Brooklyn to raise money for a charity.What would be the basic set-up and process for this?

Answer
In order to host an amateur event, you and your gym will need to be registered with USA Boxing.  Or you can work with a registered gym to put on such an event.  You can go to www.usaboxingmetro.com and probably find answers to your questions.  Please let me know if you need anything else.
