I think it might be worth making a poweradmin tool to change a cause's URL. We currently have 3 needs that this would solve:

1. For SPAM and test causes that we don't want to delete but are taking a valuable URL, we'd want to move them to a less valuable URL.
2. I imagine as we move forward with topic pages we'll eventually want to reclaim categorical URLs such as /stroke and /poverty.
3. Occasionally a cause might want to change their cause URL. (so far I've seen two instances of this, once where we actually went ahead and changed the URL, and the second time this morning with V Foundation where Kelley is simply going to create a separate cause, duplicate the information there, and hide the old one)

Solution:

1. Change the user email for Vertical Response account (if we created a VR account for them)
2. Change the user email for Eventbrite account (if we created an Eventbrite account for them AND it is an @broadcause.com email i.e. they didn't change it)
3. Change the URL in our DB

*Double check if there are any other third parties for which we create accounts using an @broadcause.com email address.
