From Tamworth to Newcastle, people will gather at Olympic Park in September to participate in the event.
Organiser Sally Pereira said this was something the local disability support service had always wanted to do.
“We want to get people together,” she said.
“We want it to be a great day in Muswellbrook for clients and the community.”
If successful, the aim is to make the Endeavour Games a recurring event.
Mrs Pereira said it’s not just for those living with a disability; everyone in the community is welcome to be involved, even as a volunteer.
Any service, and anybody, who wants to join can help.
“We want the [clients] to feel like they’re achieving and the sky’s the limit,” she said.
Joining the fun will be those from the newly-opened Singleton site.
Endeavour Games will be on Thursday, September 17.

The team at Endeavour Group Australia are always on the look out for creative ways to engage their clients and the community.
Some of the initiatives at the Muswellbrook location include a weekly car wash, working at the group’s jumble sale shop, and learning how to work with food.
