Pleser o'r mwyaf ar ran Cymdeithas Corau Meibion Cymru oedd cael ein hymdrechion codi arian wedi eu cydnabod yn ystod seremoni gwobrwyo urddasol Tei Glâs Prosdad Cymru yng ngwesty'r Fro nos Wener 16fed o Chwefror.

Roedd y Gymdeithas yn un o bedwar ar restr fer o Godwyr Arian y Flwyddyn o'r Gymuned. Bu inni ddewis Prosdad Cymru fel ein helusen nawdd i elwa o gyngerdd lleisiau torfol Ganol Haf a gynhaliwyd yn Neuadd Dewi Sant, Caerdydd yn 2023 gyda 350 o gantorion o 15 o gorau meibion yn cymryd rhan. Codwyd dros £8,000 ar y noson ac fe fydd yr elusen haeddiannol hefyd yn elw allan o gyngerdd lleisiau torfol gydag i fyny at 650 o leisiau a gynhelir yn Neuadd Albert, Llundain ym mis Ebrill 2024.

Yn flynyddol mae 52,000 o ddynion yn y DU yn derbyn disagnosis o gancr y prosdad. O'r rheiny, mae'n drist nodi fod 12,000 yn marw o'r cyflwr. Mae gan gorau swyddogaeth bwysig o godi ymwybyddiaeth iechyd gyhoeddus am y cyflwr ac ehangu'r coffrau am yr ymchwil anghenrheidiol i'w goncro.
