Annual tradition moves to new venue
It’s is one of the most anticipated alumni events of the year – the tailgate before the Belen vs Columbus football game. Hundreds of alumni, parents, and faculty gather before the big game for fun, comradery, food and drinks.
“This is a great opportunity for alumni, students, parents and friends of the school to gather together and show support for our student athletes,” said Mariano Loret de Mola, Executive Director of the Belen Alumni Association of Jesuit Schools from Cuba and Miami “As an Alumni Association the tailgate is a wonderful annual event that unites the Belen community.”
This year, the game is being moved from FIU to Tropical Park and will be held on Saturday, September 24. The tailgate sponsored by the Alumni Association will be from 5 p.m. - 6:45 p.m. and kickoff is at 7 p.m. Tickets to the game will go on-sale Wednesday, September 7 in the Campus Store.

Belen Jesuit Preparatory School was founded in 1854 in Havana, Cuba, by Queen Isabel II of Spain. The task of educating students was assigned to the priests and brothers of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits), whose teaching tradition is synonymous with academic excellence and spiritual discipline. In 1961, the new political regime of Cuba confiscated the school's property and expelled the Jesuit faculty. The School was re-established in Miami the same year, and over the next decade, continued to grow. Today, Belen Jesuit is situated on a 34-acre site in western Dade County, just minutes away from downtown Miami.
