You are correct. A single person / BitCoin Wallet can have a near infinite number of bitcoin addresses. This can be used to accomplish anything from increased levels of privacy, to tracking which address people are using the most, and therefore which page is more effective at advertising donations. (maybe he has other addresses that he only posts in IRC, to track how effective IRC Chat advertisements are, etc)
I commend OP ( @gregrich91 ) for being vigilant and noticing this, because different addresses still could be an indication of something fishy going on, but it doesn't necessarily mean there is either, because it is very easy for a single person to have many bitcoin addresses.
