Coeur d’Alene’s love affair with its visiting moose came to the best possible end September 27, 2004 as the EXCEL Foundation, a nonprofit organization, earned approximately $366,500 in the gala auction that capped off the “No Moose Left Behind” public art project.
Throughout the summer, 26 life-size or “majestic moose” and 39 tabletop moose, or “machetes,” have graced Coeur d’Alene. The moose were created by a variety of artists to be auctioned off to benefit EXCEL (Extras to Create Excellence in Learning), which supports educational innovation above and beyond what school funding can provide.
