Anyone know how I could set it up on my website when I don't know who the host will be?
I want to do a cancer research type fundraiser or maybe several, each with a different person getting the host reward.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Just set it up with the organization's name and yourself as the chairperson. Keep in mind the "mystery host" won't get any benefits aside from being able to order the month's host special... Good luck!

Yes, fundraisers only get ONE monthly host special. There are no other benefits to split.

If you are doing a regular cooking or catalog show, you can enter multiple online shows - one for each participant's name. That way, each of your participants can send e-mail invites to their friends/family under their own name & have their own password. I did that with 10 different catalog hosts, then grouped them all together in P3 under my name as the host when I submitted the order. Each of them paid for what they wanted separately. Since P3 doesn't let you add more than 3 credit cards to any one order and I had more than 3 of the "hosts" using credit cards, I put a couple of payments on guest #1's order, a couple of more payments on guest #2's order, etc. It's okay if the line total is more or less as long as the whole show averages out to the right payment. PC doesn't care who paid for what. Does that make sense? And by submitting the show under your name, they just have to come to you for warranty issues. You don't have to worry about HO having all of those orders under 1 of the 10 host's name. (You can also do gift receipts from you to each host for what they purchased.)

I forgot to say, once you get your commission check you could donate to the appropriate non-profit organization. ;)
