The mission of Louisiana Games Uniting Mind and Body Inc. (GUMBO) is to provide youth and adults who have physical or visual disabilities, as well as hearing or intellectual impairments, the opportunity to participate in sports and fitness activities designed to improve self-esteem and promote healthy lifestyles.

Games Uniting Mind and Body (GUMBO) is an interscholastic track and field competition designed for children and adults ages 5 and up who have physical, visual, hearing, or intellectual impairments (new class for 2023). The events are not unlike those at any other track and field event: races, shot put, discus, etc.
