Leucistic Possum

From: Katrina Greene City: Carpentersville, IL
I have a regular visitor in my backyard which I'm almost positive is a leucistic possum. He's all white with brown ears and eyes. From the little research I could find, it seems this is an exciting & rare sighting. I have pictures to share. Is there an organization or someone who I could contact to share this unusual sighting with?
