In 2013, Sierra Club ICO leaders in more than fifty ICO groups across the country, were recognized for their volunteer work and awarded the President's Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition Community Leadership Award.

From the President's Council:  "Inactivity and poor nutrition are nationwide problems that affect people of all ages and abilities. We recognize the importance of organizations like yours that are motivated and willing to help others experience the mental and physical benefits that physical activity, sports and proper nutrition provide."

"Congratulations to all the Sierra Club ICO volunteers on receiving this honor. We wish your organizations continued success in future health and fitness endeavors."
