We’re excited to announce that global leader in material handling equipment Manitou is partnering with GingerCloud Foundation (GingerCloud) for the next three years to support the growth of the Modified Rugby Program (MRP).

We are excited to share this program with the world, and for more people to see and understand the benefits of the program, like getting more children into this great sport we all enjoy.
