The organizers of all the swallows-related events – culminating in the Swallows Day Parade and Mercado – are now rallying around one of their own.

Hangin’ Judge Chris Phillips is battling cancer, according to The Capistrano Dispatch. Last week, there was a fundraiser at the Swallow’s Inn, where wife Carmen works. This week, a spaghetti dinner fundraiser is planned for 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Dana West Yacht Club.
