If it’s a Monday in summer, we’re trying to find an excuse to slough off work and keep the weekend going for just one more day. Today, we’re calling in charitable and attending the long day of golfing and revelry put on by United Cerebral Palsy of New York City at Purchase’s Brae Burn Golf Club. After a day of golf, cocktails are served at 4—hey, it’s a summer Monday! In the evening, Pulitzer-winner Tony Kushner is set to be honored at the Broadway Stands Up for Freedom benefit concert, where performers from Porgy & Bess, Peter & the Starcatcher, Wicked and even theater-geek guilty pleasure Smash sing for your donations to the New York Civil Liberties Union.

UCP Celebrity Golf Tournament, Brae Burn Country Club, 39 Brae Burn Drive, player registration and breakfast begins at 9am; information can be found at ucpnyc.org. Broadway Stands Up for Freedom, Skirball Center for the Performing Arts, 566 LaGuardia Place, 7:30pm; tickets and information can be found at nyclu.org/broadway.
