THE RICK RAIMÚNDEZ ’90 TAILGATE
The tailgate is held annually in conjunction with Belen Jesuit’s homecoming game. Typically starting at 4 p.m. in the Garrido Family Plaza, this exciting event brings together alumni, families, faculty, staff, and friends for an afternoon filled with delicious food, refreshing drinks, live music, and school spirit!
One of the things I cherish most about the tailgate is walking around and seeing members of the Belen Family—whether classmates, former teachers, faculty, or administrators—and genuinely exchanging a hug or greeting. You can truly feel that sense of ‘family.’ Recently, the tailgate has evolved from being run solely by alumni to incorporating football parents, creating an even larger festive environment.

The tailgate is named after long-time Belen employee and alumnus Rick Raimúndez ’90, who passed away in 2020. His devotion to Belen and his service to the alumni association are profoundly remembered. |
