Our Story

We Are Committed to the Holistic Development of All Children

Children Come 1st Inc. (CC1st) was created in 1997 by Clinton and Parisia Patton Jr. The purpose of this organization ​was to bring balance to the mind, body, and soul of young children. Through this non-profit organization, they were able to create many programs that centered on that mission. From AAU Basketball teams to Summer Enrichment Programs to After School Programs and College Road Trips, they made right on this promise.

 

They have been able to touch the lives of countless children, helping families raise their loved ones, and providing shelter for many others. Through basketball and other activities, CC1st was able to shape the new generation of leaders. CC1st is responsible for bringing in Med-Students, Politicians, Lawyers, Entrepreneurs, Visual Artists, Producers, and 3 NBA Players.

 

CC1st Spin aims to continue the legacy of the parent organization CC1st. Holding true to the same mission, with a slight "Spin" on the original vision, CC1st Spins is committed to the holistic development of all children. We are providing our youth in the surrounding community with interactive Skillz & Drillz sessions that will help build each child in their understanding of self and the game of basketball. Not only this, we are working in conjunction with the YMCA and others to provide the necessary atmosphere to foster an uplifting spirit and successful matriculation through school and life itself. We have recently expanded our mission to include our newest Women & Men's travel basketball teams based in Conway, SC.

​

CC1st Envisions is the newest addition to the CC1st organization, aiming to create and elevate the artistic environment for children throughout Horry County and the surrounding areas. Through programs such as The Symphony Orchestra Project, "One More Time" Marching Band Fitness Camp, and Full Revolution Lesson Studio, youth are able to fully express themselves and set healthy goals to improve their artistic and musical skills. We are bringing youth together to build creative and team building skills towards a common goal of bringing the community an intriguing and thought provoking show each season from The Symphony Orchestra Project. Envisions is also expanding with the addition of the "One More Time" Marching Band Fitness Camp and an upcoming Color Guard Summer Camp in Summer 2024.

 

We are focused on continuing to strengthen our relationship with the community to help the next generation of leaders. We cannot wait for you to join the CC1st family as we continue to cultivate healthy minds, healthy bodies, and bright futures.
