2024 Volunteer of the Year: Linda Eaton

Linda Eaton, San Antonio Sports’ 2024 Leo & Chickie Rose Volunteer of the Year, embodies dedication and passion in every role she fills. Since 2008, Linda has been a driving force behind key events like the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon, the Navy All-American Bowl, and i play! afterschool tournaments. Her journey began with a knee injury that prevented her from running in the inaugural Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon, but Linda didn’t let that stop her.

She quickly stepped into volunteering and never looked back. Known for her reliability, commitment and the care she brings to each task, Linda also believes deeply in engaging young volunteers, passing on her love for service.

Having raised her children with the same values, both are now proudly serving our country in the U.S. Marine Corps. With a heart for lifelong learning and a true passion for giving back, Linda is an inspiration to us all. Thank you, Linda, for your unwavering support and genuine impact on San Antonio!
