Golden Gloves is a group member of USA Boxing and is subject to all USAB's rules and regulations with a couple of minor exceptions. Their main effort is a yearly Golden Gloves National Championships. There is a fee at the local level, determined by the Golden Gloves person in charge of the local tournament. Your uncle will need to be registered with and certified by USA Boxing in order to work your corner. You will need to be registered as an athlete with USA Boxing. Handwraps are done by each boxer's trainer. Tape and gauze is the standard.
