Scarborough community basketball program turns to crowdfunding to keep the doors open.

The program is charging less than $300 a year, or $ 25 a month, for basketball training.

For youth like Ajayesh Kalaiselvan , the experience over the past two years has been transformative.

Malcolm King , who grew up in Scarborough , used to play on the Seneca Polytechnic basketball team, is one of the coaches who helps with the program.

The pair said that based on the current budget, the program only has months left.

They're hoping to raise money through crowdfunding to deal with all the costs and to prolong Northball .
