MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) — She lost a young friend to leukemia, but singer Rihanna (ree-AH'-nah) is still working to get help for those who suffer from the disease.

Rihanna was among the celebrities who submitted a request for funding to Pepsi's Refresh Project, which doles out $20 million to various causes.

Rihanna is trying to raise funds for DKMS, which tries to find bone marrow donors for those suffering from leukemia. Rihanna was active last year in trying to find donors for a 6-year-old girl who died last month.

She was at kickoff for the project Friday night during Super Bowl festivities in South Florida along with New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez and other players and celebrities.
