DONORPROFILE<br />
IRMA BRINDIS<br />
is the newest member of the Dean’s Capital Campaign Committee<br />
and Cabinet, supporting Hispanic Collections.<br />
Ms. Brindis is a Houston philanthropist,<br />
socialite, and real estate<br />
developer. As founder of<br />
ANR Builders, Ms. Brindis has<br />
developed high-end residential<br />
real estate since 2006. She discovered<br />
a passion for real estate<br />
and interior design when<br />
building her own home from<br />
the ground up. With the encouragement<br />
of friends and<br />
family, she decided to utilize<br />
her talents to create homes for<br />
other people and has since invested<br />
in multiple real estate<br />
opportunities.<br />
Ms. Brindis is active on the<br />
charity circuit, and attends<br />
and hosts fund raising events<br />
for a wide range of nonprofits,<br />
with a particular focus<br />
on Latino causes. She has<br />
chaired the St. Jude Latin<br />
Gala, Un Brindis por St.<br />
Jude, for several years, raising<br />
approximately $300,000<br />
annually. Visiting the renowned<br />
St. Jude’s Children’s<br />
Research Hospital in Memphis<br />
only strengthened her<br />
desire to remain involved<br />
for the long term.<br />
To date Ms. Brindis has<br />
been invited as co-chair<br />
to some very worthy causes,<br />
among them Latino<br />
Learning Center’s (LLC)<br />
spring 2014 gala. LLC is a<br />
Houston non-profit with<br />
the mission of providing educational<br />
and human support services<br />
to Houston communities, with emphasis<br />
on adult education and services<br />
to the elderly and disabled.<br />
She was a 2015 honoree for CAP; a<br />
2016 honoree for Operation Smile<br />
and special guest at the International<br />
Mother’s Day Soiree; as well as a<br />
guest judge for Miss Houston Texas<br />
Latina 2016 and Miss Teen Houston<br />
Texas Latina 2016.<br />
As a friend and muse of Greek jewelry<br />
designer Konstantino, she was<br />
honored in May 2012 at Saks 5th<br />
Avenue, where the limited edition<br />
“Irma, Let the Sunshine In” collection<br />
was unveiled. This is the<br />
first time Konstantino, who counts<br />
Oprah Winfrey and Carlos Santana<br />
among his clients, has created a line<br />
exclusively to and for one individual;<br />
a very special honor.<br />
Ms. Brindis’s hobbies are socializing<br />
with friends, travel, food and<br />
of course fashion. In 2016, she<br />
launched her very own publication,<br />
IRIS Covet Book, an avant garde,<br />
new and edgy magazine that offers<br />
a glimpse into a world of beauty and<br />
elite social living.<br />
Ms. Brindis was born in Jalisco,<br />
Mexico but at a young age her parents<br />
moved to Morgan Hill, California<br />
where she grew up and lived<br />
until 1995. Ms. Brindis is the proud<br />
mother of two children, a son and a<br />
daughter.<br />
