They ended up designing and building this bike rack (pictured) with steel pipe donated from Boman & Kemp Steel and powder coating donated by S&N Custom Railing.

Our new bike rack!

All in all the donation came to around $1,100 for the rack. We want to send out a huge THANKS! to these guys for their incredible generosity!
