The Coolidge Family is affected by Trichothiodystrophy (TTD), a rare, autosomal recessive disease that affects fewer than 130 people world-wide. This family considers themselves lucky, some people with rare diseases go through life without ever receiving a diagnosis.

Joining the Coolidge family at center court will be Metro PCS' Regional Vice President of Sales, Steve Seay, and Lisa Campbell, Director of Advertising and Public Relations. Steve and Lisa, along with the Coolidge family, will recognize Rare Disease Day with the Texas Legends.

The Legends will also honor Staff Sergeant Cale Coyle and Staff Sergeant Courtney Thompson-Coyle who return from a three year tour from 52nd Fighter Wing, Spangdahlem Airbase Germany. While stationed in Germany, Cale was deployed twice to Bahrain.
