The recent death of leukemia-stricken Jasmina Amena, the six-year-old girl with whom Rihanna had a special connection, has really affected the singer.

Rihanna just submitted a request for funding to Pepsi’s Refresh Project — which is giving $20 million away to different causes — because she wants to raise money for DKMS, the world’s largest bone marrow donor center. 

“If we win, this would really help us recruit 4,000 individual donors,” Rihanna said at a party for the foundation last night in Miami.

Regardless of what the Saints and Colts do on the field, Gossip Cop is rooting this Super Bowl weekend for a Rihanna and DKMS win in Miami.
