The Pam and Tom Szot Fund was created in honor of our aunt and uncle, who both dedicated their lives to the pursuit of knowledge. Pam was a librarian for the Aurora Public Library system in Aurora, CO for her entire career and had a deep love for all genres of literature that she eagerly shared with the community for decades. Tom was similarly interested in a wide range of topics and helped instill a curiosity for the world in his family and friends.
