The municipal council of Praia da Vitória attributed a sporting medal of merit to the organization, marking its 25th anniversary and for its Azorean Senior Men's Championship in volleyball on 14 June 2001.[1] It was during this season that Fonte do Bastard joined the 2nd Division at the national level.[1] This was followed on 8 June 2005, with a similar medal of its A2 National Men's Senior Championship win, and its advance to the A1 Division of national volleyball.[1]
