It all began in a barn; Baxter Y turns 50

From its humble beginning in a barn on the northwest corner of Stop 11 Road and Shelby Street on Dec. 27, 1965, Baxter YMCA has grown into a first-class operation and is celebrating its 50th anniversary.

Its membership has grown to include more than 14,000 Southsiders, and the facility welcomes members from YMCAs nationwide.

As a part of the national network of Y’s, Baxter Y was founded with the mission to build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all. The first YMCA, or Young Men’s Christian Assocation, was founded June 6, 1844 in London. 
Baxter has a rich history and has served as a pillar to the community since its inception. 

The center thrives because of its dedicated members, who were integral in helping the center rebuild after a tornado destroyed the building in 2002, said member involvement specialist Katie Burrell.

The damages exceeded $1 million, and the center was temporarily relocated to a facility next to Hubler Chevrolet. Thanks to the support of the community and dedication of staff and members, the Y was rebuilt in 2003. A $2 million capital funds campaign helped launch a $7.2 million project to increase the size of the center by 26,000 square feet. 
​
Now, in 2015 Baxter is humbled to continue to serve the Southside through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility for the next 50 years.
